Current knowledge and perception of bariatric surgery among Greek doctors living in Thessaly

ConclusionThe penetration of bariatric surgery in the medical community remains limited, despite its proven effectiveness in facilitating sustained weight loss and resolving several obesity‐related comorbidities.

This will allow doctors to provide optimum health care to patients who could benefit from bariatric surgery.
