Summary		Izhodišča Predstavljena je problematika čezmerne debelosti in možnosti zdravljenja. Opisana so navodila za bolnike pred operacijo in pregled naših rezultatov operacije zažetja želodca s prilagodljivim obročem (ZŽPO). Bolniki in metode Od maja do decembra 2005 smo laparoskopsko vstavili 10 prilagodljivih trakov pri 7 ženskah in 3 moških, starih od 23 do 56 let z indeksom telesne mdse (ITM) od 38 do 48,5. Dva sta imela spremljajočo bolezen (diabetes). Rezultati Bolnike smo spremljali od enega do osmih mesecev. Shujšali so od 5 do 28 kg, povprečno 4,3 kg na mesec. Zaključki Bariatrična kirurgija je uspešna metoda zdravljenja debelosti, a zahteva multidisciplinarni pristop. Poleg kirurga odločajo o indikacijah še endokrinolog, gastroenterolog in psiholog. V kasnejšem spremljanju pa imata pomembno vlogo tudi dietetik in splošni zdravnik.
