Invitation

It is my honor, privilege and pleasure to invite all of you to the XVI World Congress of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) in Hamburg, Germany.

In this ever-evolving discipline that attends to our modern world epidemic, that Obesity has come to represent, we will try to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements, breakthroughs and novelties in the minimally invasive treatments of this modern age plague.

The Congress President Rudolf Weiner and the German Scientific Committee are planning an excellent scientific program.

The Congress is scheduled this time in the beginning of September thus allowing your partners, spouses, children and families to take advantage of this opportunity to visit Hamburg and enjoy some sightseeing across Germany and Europe.

It will be time again for us to come together, visit with each other, learn from each other, share the advances in the field of obesity and metabolic surgery and feel the flair, the maritime charms and the spirit of the city.
