Popis:	Given the rise in obesity rates, increasing capacity for bariatric surgery has become a focus for some provincial planners.

This article provides an update to our previous article documenting the volume of in-patient bariatric procedures but focuses on the extent to which Canadians are increasingly receiving bariatric procedures in day surgery settings.
