In France, it is estimated that 17% of the adult population is obese, which represents 8 million people. A true global pandemic, obesity can lead to a multitude of pathologies and is harmful to all organs in the body. In 10 years, the use of bariatric surgery has exploded: more than 68,000 people underwent surgery in 2017 compared to only 15,000 in 2006. However, there are less invasive procedures, such as the gastric balloon, and this is the subject we will discuss this evening with Dr. Bastid, a hepato-gastroenterologist. We will also look at the psychological causes of excess weight and the potential of hypnosis in the overall management of obesity.

Contraindications? Presented by: • Dr Julia Maruani Speakers: • Dr Christophe Bastid, hepato-gastroenterologist • Jonathan Bastid, hypnotherapist
