    Abstract Bariatric, metabolic or weight loss surgery produces sustained weight loss and imporovement in obesity related diseases. Bariatric surgery has existed for decades but there is limited reliable data on the risk of perioperative mortality following the procedures. This commentary focuses on a recent meta-analysis which has produced contemporaneous mortality data, and the findings are significant. Utilising data from 3.6 million patients the study has shown an overall pooled perioperative mortality of 0.08%, a significantly reduced risk compared to previous, smaller studies. This finding increases our knowledge of surgical risk for these procedures and should now equip health care groups to challenge barriers to uptake of bariatric surgery. Barriers currently include a worldwide lack of focus on treating obesity, lack of funding and resource from commissioners, and a general public and professional view that bariatric surgery may be high risk. In reality, this figure equates to mortality risk for procedures generally considered 'safe' such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy and knee arthroplasty. Bariatric surgery is a safe option for achieving sustained weight-loss and the treatment of obesity related diseases, and refusing access to surgery on the grounds of perioperative safety should now be an outdated premise.

    Abstract Objective: Obesity is a highly stigmatized disease, and despite the understanding of the processes involved, negative language reinforcing outdated views of obesity persists within the scientific literature. This is the first study, to the authors' knowledge, to determine how widespread stigmatizing language is within publications on obesity and examine its impact on patients.
    Methods: Two standard terms within obesity publications were identified, and a literature search was carried out to determine their prevalence. A parallel qualitative analysis was conducted with patients with obesity to determine perceptions of these terms.
    Results: Of the 3,020 papers screened, 2.4% included the term fail, and 16.8% contained morbid used in conjunction with obesity. Sixteen patients participated in the qualitative analysis. They felt that negative language, particularly failure, implied a personal responsibility for lack of weight loss. Clinically meaningful terminology fostered a more constructive relationship with health care providers.
    Conclusions: Although most journals object to overtly stigmatizing language, using phrases or words that carry negative connotations is less clearly discouraged. It is important to recognize that language that implies a moral responsibility for weight loss or the development of obesity contradicts the well-established evidence base that obesity results from complex biological processes.

    Abstract The United Kingdom (UK) National Bariatric Surgery Registry (NBSR) is a registry of self-reported bariatric surgery from members of the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society. We describe the registry and its usefulness and limitations in improving the knowledge base for metabolic and bariatric surgery, reviewing the main results for the first 5 years of its introduction since 2009. We also review the reports of other national and international bariatric surgery registries and compare the baseline characteristics, including metabolic parameters, of the patients entered into the NBSR. A total of 161 surgeons from 137 UK bariatric surgery units entered 32,212 anonymized patient records. Of these patients, 76% were female, mean weight at preoperative clinic was 135.6 kg, body mass index was 48.8 kg/m(2), and 76.5 % had publicly funded National Health Service treatment. The 3 most common procedures were gastric bypass (55.3%), gastric banding (20.4%), and sleeve gastrectomy (20.2%), although the prevalence of these changed over time and was different between public and private sectors. The 2-year rate for diabetes improvement was 61.5%, but this varied with the duration of diabetes and baseline diabetic therapy. The data were similar to those from other large registries. Establishment of large national registries such as the NBSR has the potential to provide "real-world" information for quality assurance and the effect of metabolic and bariatric surgery on the whole operated population.
