Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Severe obesity is a global health problem with increasing prevalence. Obesity does not only imply an aesthetic problem, but it is also a relevant health problem as it is associated with the development of diverse pathologies, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disorders, sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome, osteoarthritis and an increased risk of suffering from several neoplasms. In addition, severe obesity is also linked to diverse psychopathologies, including anxiety or depression, and a poor quality of life.
Treatment of severe obesity aims to reduce the patient’s caloric intake and involves physical exercise and pharmacotherapy, but when these fail, bariatric surgery or other interventional approaches come to the fore. After a successful intervention, significant weight loss must be achieved and maintained over time, with improvement or even remission of comorbidities. However, the surgery or any other intervention alone cannot maintain the weight loss obtained; nutritional and psychological support are essential for this purpose.
Once significant weight loss is achieved, improvement of psychological disorders and quality of life often follow. However, it must be taken into consideration that new symptoms might appear, which is a consequence of the conducted intervention. It is essential to recognize them and explore new treatment options to improve the overall results of the treatment performed.
