American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, The Obesity Society, American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, Obesity Medicine Association, and American Society of Anesthesiologists medical guidelines for clinical practice are systematically developed statements to assist health-care professionals in medical decision-making for specific clinical conditions. Most of the content herein is based on clinical evidence. In areas of uncertainty, or when clarification is required, expert opinion and professional judgment were applied. These guidelines are a working document that reflects the state of the field at the time of publication. Because rapid changes in this area are expected, periodic revisions are inevitable. We encourage medical professionals to use this information in conjunction with their best clinical judgment. The presented recommendations may not be appropriate in all situations. Any decision by practitioners to apply these guidelines must be made considering local resources and individual patient circumstances.
