In this review, we discuss the presentation and suggested management of technical, perioperative complications of bariatric surgery. This discussion does not include the shared although rare postoperative complications (i.e., deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, rhabdomyolysis) seen in the patient population with morbid obesity. The acute complications discussed include postoperative leaks, obstruction, and bleeding encountered after RYGB, LSG, and LAGB. by TAMMY L. KINDEL, MD, PhD, and CORRIGAN L. MCBRIDE, MD T he As Told by the Leaders Who Made it Happen THIS MONTH: HISTORY OF BARIATRIC SURGERY Dear Readers of Bariatric Times: Bariatric Surgery has many leaders who have helped shaped the field by their discoveries, teaching, and stewardship. Bariatric Times has initiated a new regular column titled, "The History of Bariatric Surgery—As Told by the Leaders Who Made it Happen." We invite leaders to tell us about their most significant accomplishment(s). Here, we will hear from leaders about their visions, hurdles, collaborators, and, ultimately what impact their accomplishments had on the field of bariatric surgery. We will also learn how they set goals and turned ideas into reality, and what was anticipated and what was not expected throughout their journeys. We are very excited about this project and hope it will help to inspire the next generation of leaders as they evaluate new devices and technology, and consider novel procedures and treatments in an era of cost containment. We hope you enjoy these stories. Sincerely, Drs. George L. Blackburn and Daniel B. Jones COLUMN EDITOR George L. Blackburn, MD, PhD, FACS COLUMN EDITOR Daniel B.
