In France, 1,000 obese persons per month undergo a bariatric operation. Obesity surgery requires coordination and monitoring of aftercare. The French public health-care insurer asked the medical associations involved in obesity management to provide guidelines for obesity surgery. The recommendations were developed by the national associations of Obesity, Nutrition and Diabetes: the Association Francaise d'Etudes et de Recherches sur l'Obesite (AFERO), member of the EASO and IASO the Association de Langue Francaise pour l'Etude du Diabete et des Maladies Metaboliques (ALFEDIAM) the Societe Francaise de Nutrition (SFN) and the Societe Francaise de Chirurgie de l'Obesite (SOFCO). This article presents the short version of the guidelines.
