The number of patients being referred for bariatric surgery is set to rise, due to the increasing prevalence of morbid obesity and the establishment of bariatric centres. The following review provides a pragmatic approach to the medical assessment and management of such patients, focusing on exclusion of endocrinopathy, adequate exploration of non-surgical treatment options and optimal management of diabetes and hypertension.
