With the advancement and industrialization of our society, the prevalence of metabolic disease is also increasing. Among the risk factors for metabolic syndrome and many other non-communicable diseases, obesity is the single most important one. Although life style and pharmacological therapies are the part of initial intervention, however once the overt obesity related complication appears, bariatric surgery becomes the only curative intervention. Various modalities surgeries have come into place in recent times. However preparing a patient physically and mentally needs a thorough pre- operative preparation. Here in this review, we are exploring the approach to patient with morbid obesity and work up for bariatric surgery from a physician’s point of view.
