Abstract: There is no medical cure for obesity and, despite the numerous dietary treatments, the natural course of the disease is characterized by an ongoing, sometimes unstoppable, weight gain. There are now one billion overweight or obese persons worldwide, but only some of these patients express the desire or are able to undergo a surgical operation.
