Summary:Abstract The surgical management of obesity in Hong Kong has rapidly evolved over the past 20 years. Despite increasing public awareness and demand concerning bariatric and metabolic surgery, service models generally are not standardised across bariatric practitioners. Therefore, a working group was commissioned by the Hong Kong Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery to review relevant literature and provide recommendations concerning eligibility criteria for bariatric and metabolic interventions within the local population in Hong Kong. The current position statement aims to provide updated guidance regarding the indications and contraindications for bariatric surgery, metabolic surgery, and bariatric endoscopic procedures.
