​First ever text on bariatric endocrinology, which describes on how adipose tissue works and how it becomes diseased and contributes to metabolic disorders

Redefines practice to focus not just on weight loss as measured in pounds lost, but on adipose tissue mass and pathology, decreasing fat mass for adiposity-related diseases and returning adipose tissue to normal function

Authors and editors are thought leaders in obesity management and endocrinology
