The aim of this report is to describe the clinical presentation and outcomes of bariatric surgical patients during the initial phase of COVID-19 outbreak. Beginning of March 2020, given the huge burden of COVID-19 outbreak on the health care systems, critical shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) and ventilators, and risk of hospital transmission of infection, nonessential elective surgical procedures, including bariatric surgical procedures, have been postponed in many places around the world. Patients who develop shortness of breath or fever in the early postoperative period of bariatric surgery would require several diagnostic tests to rule out typical surgical complications such as gastrointestinal leak or pulmonary embolism.	./cache/cord-315569-e56c5g8h.txt	./txt/cord-315569-e56c5g8h.txt
