What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the outcomes of patients who undergo bariatric surgery, focusing on postoperative pain, analgesia, and quality of life. It will collect data through a registry that documents various patient and surgery-related variables, including preoperative status and patient-reported outcomes over a follow-up period of up to five years. Patients will complete standardized questionnaires at specific time points to assess their pain levels and daily living impairments. The goal is to identify which patients may be at risk for unfavorable outcomes after surgery.
