The purpose of the symposium is to gather all members of the multidisciplinary team who work with the obese patient to learn more about the latest developments and research in bariatric surgery. This meeting provides great opportunity to share deep knowledge and best practice experiences with other colleagues in this field. Both large plenary sessions as well as round table discussions targeted for each specific professional group represented will be on the agenda. All members of the team will have plenty of chances to meet with their counterparts from other centers to discuss subjects of specific interest related to their area of expertise.
Here are a few examples of topics that have been addressed previous years:
- Patient stories
- Nutritional deficiencies
- QoL – Quality of Life
- Operation techniques and outcomes
- National and European Guidelines for obesity surgery
- Patient education pre- and post operation
- Adolescents and bariatric surgery
