We read with great interest the paper by Głuszewska et al, [1] recently published in the journal of European Journal of Internal Medicine reporting blood pressure (BP) changes following bariatric surgery in severely obese patients. In their publication, the authors provide a novel and interesting perspective regarding bariatric surgery contribution in lowering BP. Using a 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in severe obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery, the authors reported a significant decrease from baseline in mean values of BP at 10 days (p < .005) and 6 months (p < .005) follow-up in patients with preoperative hypertension.
