While the lower weight limits for bariatric surgery are already strictly set, the upper weight limits are still undetermined. The extremely obese patient deserves special consideration: significant comorbidities, technical difficulties, and increased postoperative morbidity and mortality are all expected in this patient population.In view of these factors, how should super-obese patients (BMI > 50 kg/m2) be approached, and is there any preferred procedure? Is there a point where operative risk outweighs surgical benefits? Bariatric surgery for super-obese and super-super-obese patients, including the operative complications and the associated morbidity and mortality, as well as the way they influence the approach to this subgroup of patients, are the subjects of this chapter.
