    Obesity affects over 1 billion people globally and is a major risk factor for diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

  • 2

    Bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment for severe obesity, leading to sustained weight loss and remission of obesity-related diseases.

  • 3

    The SF-BARI score integrates weight loss, disease remission, and complications to assess long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery.

  • 4

    Higher SF-BARI scores correlate with sustained disease remission and lower rates of significant weight gain five years post-surgery.

  • 5

    Improvements in metabolic disease control may persist despite partial weight regain, indicating weight-independent mechanisms at play.
