IFSO's main activity is currently the organization of the yearly World Congress, which provides a forum to exchange knowledge on surgical treatment of severely obese patients, to present new techniques, research and concepts, and to meet the experts in the field. VISION
“To optimize the control of adiposity-based chronic diseases.”
MISSION
“To unify the global scientific, surgical and integrated health communities, for the purpose of dissemination of knowledge, collaboration and establishing universal standards of care for the treatment of individuals with adiposity-based chronic disease.”

Visceral fat isn’t visible, but its impact is serious.

It fuels chronic inflammation, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and accelerates metabolic decline.

The good news? It responds exceptionally well to Metabolic Bariatric Surgery, which reduces visceral fat and restores metabolic health.

IFSO promotes early, evidence-based treatment to prevent long-term complications.

Obesity is not your fault. It is a chronic disease that we at IFSO address every day through scientific communication and public education, to remind you that you are not alone and that evidence-based therapeutic options exist to help you overcome this condition—foremost among them bariatric surgery.

This is the statement of Dr. Khaled Gawdat, the newly appointed President of IFSO.

Genetics, hormones, environment, and lifestyle all play a role.
That’s why effective care must combine medical, nutritional, psychological, and surgical approaches.
Because treating obesity isn’t about blame, it’s about science, support, and real solutions.

Pamela’s Story: From Appearance to Awareness

At IFSO, we share stories that go beyond transformation. They speak of growth, awareness, and commitment.

Pamela once saw Bariatric Surgery as a way to look better and feel comfortable in her body. But through her journey with a multidisciplinary team, she discovered something deeper: surgery is not just about appearance, it’s about health, longevity, and self-care.

“Bariatric surgery isn’t magic” Pamela says.
“It resets you to zero, and from there, with your medical team, you begin a path of self-control, responsibility, and lasting change.”

Her story reminds us: the real success of surgery comes not only from the procedure itself, but from the daily choice to take care of yourself.

Obesity Treatment Should Be Personal.
Every journey is different — and so is every treatment.
From nutrition and medication to Metabolic Bariatric Surgery, care should be tailored to your needs, health, and goals.
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution — only the right path for you.

💬 Meaningful Change Begins with Meaningful Conversations.

At IFSO, we believe real change doesn’t start with pressure — it starts with empathy.
Motivational interviewing isn’t about giving advice or convincing someone to change.
It’s about working with the patient, not on the patient.

Because lasting change doesn’t happen when people feel judged — it happens when they feel heard.

At its core, motivational interviewing is built on four values:
🤝 Partnership — working together as equals.
💛 Acceptance — full respect, not judgment.
💬 Compassion — putting the patient’s well-being first.
🌱 Empowerment — helping patients find their own reasons for change.

The goal isn’t weight loss — it’s healthier, happier lives.
Let’s build healthcare on empathy, not stigma.

Prof. Paulina Salminen presented results from the landmark SLEEVEPASS trial, a 10-year randomized study comparing the two most common bariatric procedures: sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass.

The trial included 240 adults with severe obesity (average BMI ~46), with follow-up extending from 2008 to 2021—and now continuing toward 20 years. Remarkably, more than 80% of patients completed long-term follow-up, making this one of the most robust datasets in bariatric surgery.

👉 Key takeaway: Both procedures are effective long-term treatments for severe obesity, but the choice of surgery should be guided by patient-specific risk profiles and potential post-operative complications.

✨ At IFSO, we highlight evidence like SLEEVEPASS to help clinicians and patients make informed, individualized decisions.

Metabolic Bariatric Surgery targets more than just the stomach, it acts on the gut-brain axis, the powerful communication link between your digestive system and your brain.
By changing how hormones and signals work, surgery helps reduce hunger, improve satiety, and restore metabolic balance.

It’s not only about eating less. It’s about resetting how your body and mind work together to sustain long-term health.
