ABSTRACT
Inadequate access to public bariatric surgical services has favoured the growth of bariatric tourism. This study analysed data extracted from bariatric surgical centres that care for patients travelling from abroad. The research highlights apparent deficits in accreditation, communication, perioperative care, and travel health advice. An international registry of accredited bariatric tourism providers and patient education may be indicated.
