Early body-weight loss (< 37.7% EBWL) at 3 months post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy predicts poorer long-term weight loss outcomes. High BMI, elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (≥ 2.36), and female sex are significant risk factors for suboptimal weight loss. These findings highlight the potential utility of targeted interventions such as adjuvant weight loss medications in at-risk patients.
