AB  - Obesity is one of the leading causes of preventable disease and death in  the United States. Obesity treatment is critical for mitigating the detrimental  effects of obesity on early disability, disease burden, and quality of life. Investigation of bariatric surgery outcomes among Medicaid  patients is a critical step in informing appropriate obesity treatment guidelines for  low-income patient populations with severe obesity. This dissertation aimed to  evaluate the long-term success of bariatric surgical care in Medicaid  beneficiaries, compared to commercially insured patients by 1.) systematically  summarizing the existing evidence, 2.) assessing long-term weight loss and  regain patterns, and 3.) determining the changes to comorbidity prevalence over  time.
