An overview of the latest guidelines (recently published) from The Endocrine Society regarding preventing weight regain after bariatric surgery.  Quoted from their website (2010): "Founded in 1916, The Endocrine Society is the world's oldest, largest, and most active organization devoted to research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology.
