AbstractObesity is an increasing problem faced by the healthcare system. In managing obesity, bariatric surgery is becoming more important with evidence showing a reduction in long-term morbidity and mortality. There are special challenges faced by the radiology department in providing an imaging service for this population of patients, from technical requirements through to the interpretation of post-surgical images. This article provides an overview of the most frequently performed procedures, normal postoperative imaging findings and the appearance of common complications.
