Summary: The study aimed to determine the weight-loss outcomes of patients who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and whether outcomes differed according to indications for conversion. The study found that patients who underwent LRYGB after previous LSG had a consistent weight-loss outcome regardless of the reason for conversion.

Summary: This study compared the extent of weight recurrence between patients who received Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) after adequate weight loss at 1-year follow-up. The results showed that patients undergoing SG had a higher likelihood of weight recurrence up to 5 years and were less likely to achieve remission of comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Summary: Both RYGB and SG have been shown to improve metabolic comorbidities and quality of life in obese population, with RYGB showing greater and more durable improvement in quality of life compared to SG.

Summary: This study evaluated the short-term outcomes of various revisional bariatric surgeries after failed primary sleeve gastrectomy. Results showed that biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) resulted in the largest weight loss, while Roux en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and BPD/DS had similar rates of major complications. Overall, revisional procedures offer further weight loss for patients with failed primary SG.

Summary: Background: The rates of secondary bariatric surgery have increased, with sleeve gastrectomy to gastric bypass conversion being the most common. This study evaluates the outcomes of this conversion compared to primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery using MBSAQIP data. Methods: The study analyzed the data of patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy to RYGB conversion and primary laparoscopic RYGB, matching them based on preoperative characteristics. Results: The analysis showed that the conversion from sleeve gastrectomy to RYGB was associated with higher readmissions, interventions, conversion to open surgery, longer hospital stay, and longer operative time compared to primary RYGB. However, there were no significant differences in mortality or rates of bariatric complications. Conclusion: The study concludes that conversion from sleeve gastrectomy to RYGB is a safe and feasible procedure with reasonable outcomes compared to primary RYGB.

Summary: The decision to perform LRYGB is primarily driven by obesity-associated comorbidities and higher BMI, whereas LSG is more likely to be performed in higher risk patients.

Summary: The objective of this study was to characterize the patients who underwent conversion from laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) to Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and to better understand pre-operative predictors of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and revision. The study found that the majority of patients who underwent the conversion surgery experienced significant improvements in GERD symptoms and outcomes.

Summary: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is the most effective long-term treatment for Class III obesity. This study examined the relationship between dietary intake and weight loss over 24 months following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy. The study found significant associations between weight loss and energy, protein, and total fat intake at 12 months post-surgery, but these associations were no longer significant at 24 months.

Summary: The study found that patients with higher weight loss at 6 and 12 months after bariatric surgery may have a higher risk of weight regain at 4 years. Surgeons may need to closely monitor patients with significant early weight loss and offer additional treatment options to maximize their long-term success.

Summary: This study investigated the safety and efficacy of revisional endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (R-ESG) in a large international cohort of patients who experienced weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The results showed that R-ESG is a safe and effective method for facilitating weight loss in patients with weight recidivism after LSG, with sustained results at 1 year.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in the long-term management of dyslipidemia, revealing that RYGB had higher remission rates after 4 years but required close monitoring to prevent relapse.

Summary: The study found that the clinical efficacy of LRYGB in managing obesity over 11 years was better than LSG. However, there were no statistically significant differences in weight loss and regain after 8 years post-surgery, and no significant disparities in surgery-related mortality and severe complications between the two procedures.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy and safety of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic greater curve plication (LGCP) over 2 years. Results showed that although ESG had a slightly lower weight loss rate compared to other techniques, it displayed better safety profile and shorter hospital stay.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the weight loss, obesity-related comorbidities, and biochemical outcomes of LSG versus LRYGB through a meta-analysis of RCTs. The results showed that LRYGB resulted in greater reductions in body mass index and improved dyslipidemia compared to LSG at 1 and 3 years, but the data beyond 3 years is insufficient for drawing conclusions.

Summary: The study suggests that early postoperative weight loss can be used to identify patients with lower overall weight loss after bariatric surgery. Patients with the lowest weight loss at 3 months after surgery had consistently lower weight loss trajectories up to 5 years after surgery.
