Most of the benefits of bariatric surgery persist long term, this feature has allowed longitudinal studies looking at the decreased risk of metabolic diseases, cardiovascular risk reduction and overall mortality in morbidly obese. This review is an update of the supporting the benefits of CB as therapy in these patients because no other medical intervention is simultaneously performed many comorbidities.
