A constant in the history of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been the shift
in use of various procedures throughout the decades. Differences in their outcomes
have become evident through studies which compared them and ultimately guided their
utilization [
1
]. Now among the safest commonly performed operations, MBS procedures offer an excellent
risk-to-benefit ratio for peri-operative (30-day) morbidity and mortality [
2
]. An interest is now also developing to study the prevalence of long-term effects
and how they differ among the modern-day operations. Chronic symptoms after MBS may
be extremely complex to describe and assess in the setting of massive weight-loss
and overall health improvements. While most patients enjoy long-term benefits after
MBS, this outcome is not necessarily universal or guaranteed. The prevalence of chronic
abdominal pain (CAP), changes in quality of life (QOL) and their predictive factors
merit more clinical scrutiny and scientific evaluation.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
