About

The goal of this observational study is to assess the effect of functional status on bariatric surgical thirty-day outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Is functional status associated with higher incidence of 30-day unplanned resource utilization?
• Is functional status associated with higher incidences of secondary adverse events?
