| Abstract |
While bariatric procedures continued to evolve and develop since the 1950s, their classification has not matched this evolution. The procedures are commonly classified into restrictive, malabsorptive, or combined. In this day and age, we recognize different mechanisms of action of the bariatric procedures. This article aims to review and update the old classifications based on our current understanding of the hormonal aspects of the various bariatric procedures and the role of gut hormones in weight loss and treatment of the associated metabolic comorbidities. The article suggests the need for a new classification of the bariatric procedures, based on the mechanism of action, involving the hormonal aspects of the procedure. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 June 2016.
All research outputs
#12,661,002
of 22,663,969 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#1,498
of 3,358 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#85,723
of 160,638 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#20
of 57 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,663,969 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,358 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 160,638 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 57 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
