Obesity is a worldwide concern, affecting 1.5 billion individuals, but management strategies vary widely. A survey involving 94 interdisciplinary global experts in obesity management was conducted in 2021. It revealed consensus on 158 out of 180 statements, addressing critical areas like the need for international collaboration, regular obesity monitoring, multidisciplinary approaches, the growing impact of childhood obesity, acceptance of post-bariatric surgery weight regain as normal, and the importance of lifelong follow-up for surgical patients. This study underscores the call for comprehensive, lifelong, and collaborative approaches to tackle obesity on a global scale.
