The purpose of this volume is to elaborate on the nonsurgical areas of an integrated multidisciplinary approach to bariatric surgery such as the psychosocial, nutritional, physical activity, and medical aspects of patient management. Although the main audience for this volume is nonsurgical specialists in an integrated healthcare team (dietitians, psychologists, and physical activity specialists), it is also of value to several others, such as bariatric surgeons and extenders, fellows and residents, and other medical specialists taking care of bariatric patients.
