Zusammenfassung

Our data show that patients with HO do not benefit from bariatric surgery, neither in terms of body weight loss, nor with a subjective improvement of mental and physical health. This is probably due to hypothalamic damage and consecutive weakened effects of food intake regulating hormones, which underlines the potential of bariatric surgery as a “neurosurgical” intervention. Patients with HO have to be screened carefully before suggesting bariatric surgery.
