AB  - In 2005, for the first time in European history, an extraordinary expert panel 
      named BSCG (Bariatric Scientific Collaborative Group), was appointed through 
      joint effort of the major European scientific societies which are active in the 
      field of obesity management. Societies that constituted this panel were: IFSO - 
      International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity, IFSO-EC - International 
      Federation for the Surgery of Obesity - European Chapter, EASO - European 
      Association for Study of Obesity, ECOG - European Childhood Obesity Group, 
      together with the IOTF (International Obesity Task Force) which was represented 
      during the completion process by its representative. The BSCG was composed not 
      only of the top officers representing the respective scientific societies (four 
      acting presidents, two past presidents, one honorary president, two executive 
      directors), but was balanced with the presence of many other key opinion leaders 
      in the field of obesity. The BSCG composition allowed the coverage of key 
      disciplines in comprehensive obesity management, as well as reflecting European 
      geographical and ethnic diversity. This joint BSCG expert panel convened several 
      meetings which were entirely focused on guidelines creation, during the past 2 
      years. There was a specific effort to develop clinical guidelines, which will 
      reflect current knowledge, expertise and evidence based data on morbid obesity 
      treatment.
