“…In our case, the clinical question was, “What are the best practice recommendations for anesthetic, perioperative care and pain management in patients with obesity undergoing weight loss surgery?” In order to define the health question, the PIPOH tool was used as follows: • Population – The population concerned are the patients with obesity undergoing weight loss surgery • Intervention – The intervention included anesthetic, perioperative management as well as postoperative pain control • Professionals – All the anesthetists as well as the technicians and nurses working in the theater are the targeted professionals • Outcome – Expected to decrease practice variation and reduce perioperative morbidity • Health care setting – Is the operation theater and immediate postoperative care areas where the guideline will be applicable. [ 1 ] The next step after identifying the clinical question was to search for the topic in the English language literature between 2005 and 2011. A comprehensive search for guidelines was done.…”

The dream is now real! We had started thinking of establishing “Bariatric Anesthesia Fellowship” (BAF) program in our setting since 2012. The reason was the increasing number of bariatric surgical cases for weight loss under general anesthesia (GA). The journey till establishing the BAF program consisted of two phases. Phase I started in 2012 to establish clinical practice guidelines (CPG) in “Anesthesia for Patients with Morbid Obesity undergoing weight loss surgery”. Phase II started in 2015 to establish BAF program. In 2021 the first draft of BAF program was submitted to the medical education for approval. In March 2022, we got the interim approval of the program. Though the journey took sometime but ultimately it ended with success and achieving the dream. In this review, we are going to discuss a roadmap consisted of two phases in an attempt to reach our goal of establishing the BAF program.

“…In our previous report on “road map” toward establishing a clinical practice guidelines for anesthesia in the morbid obese patient, we have described the methodology we have used to reach those guidelines. [ 1 ] We sought to sum up our preferred anesthetic technique for the morbid obese patients undergoing weight loss surgery in a kind of template that we called it “bariatric anesthesia ladder” [ Figure 1 ]. We understand that the anesthetic management of the morbid obese patient requires a significant focus on a number of issues beginning with a background of the comorbidities associated with these patients.…”
