Bariatric surgery post-liver transplantation, particularly sleeve gastrectomy, resulted in significant and sustained weight loss, improved liver health, and reduced metabolic dysfunction in a Belgian nationwide study. Patients experienced a decrease in body mass index and notable reductions in liver enzyme and HbA1c levels post-surgery. The…
Study identifies key factors influencing postoperative weight loss trajectories after bariatric surgery, including demographics like age, sex, and race/ethnicity, as well as preoperative clinical factors such as preoperative BMI and comorbidities. Men, older patients, and certain ethnic groups were more likely to have lower postoperative…
Revisional bariatric surgery showed a positive impact on antidiabetic treatment reimbursement over a 4-year follow-up, reducing or discontinuing treatments and decreasing costs per patient. A study in France compared different revisional surgery sequences after sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric banding, revealing significant changes in reimbursed…
Post-bariatric surgery statin discontinuation poses significant risks for ASCVD events, particularly in patients with prior ASCVD and certain demographics like Hispanics. Primary prevention patients have an 82% reduced risk of post-statin cessation ASCVD events compared to secondary prevention patients. Individualized healthcare strategies are needed, especially…
Meticulous closure of mesenteric defects during laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass significantly reduces the risk of internal hernia, particularly at the jejunojejunostomy and Petersen defects. Improvements in closure techniques led to a notable decrease in internal hernia incidence over time, with the most effective method involving…
Patients with obesity overwhelmingly prefer metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) options that offer significant weight loss without recurrence, no risk of complications, and minimal adverse effects. Two main patient groups emerged: those prioritizing weight loss and those prioritizing avoidance of complications. Attributes like out-of-pocket costs and…
Study reveals that patients with lower polygenic risk scores for high BMI experience better weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery. Genetic background, along with individual factors such as biological sex and age, plays a significant role in determining the success of surgical interventions for severe…
Study developed a predictive model - GAASThyriC - utilizing age, glucose, TSH, alcohol use, SII, and tobacco to forecast patient outcomes post laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The GAASThyriC score demonstrated high accuracy in identifying individuals unlikely to have optimal responses in weight loss. This model serves…
Adherence to post-surgery dietary recommendations significantly impacts weight loss success after metabolic and bariatric surgery. Factors like pre-surgery BMI, type of surgery, age, physical activity, and depression symptoms also play a role. Adherence peaks within 6 months post-surgery, highlighting the importance of ongoing support and…
Sleeve gastrectomy surgery led to a significant reduction in hyperuricemia prevalence, improving metabolic syndrome status in patients with obesity. After one year, there was a 46.75% decrease in hyperuricemia cases among females and a 44.44% decrease among males. Enhancements in anthropometric and laboratory measurements were…
