Summary: This study compared medium-term outcomes of primary and revisional bariatric procedures, finding that revisional surgeries may have better outcomes in improving comorbidities. While weight loss outcomes may be inferior in revisional surgeries, they are still safe and effective choices for this difficult set of patients.

Summary: Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that is strongly associated with comorbid diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM). Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) is an effective surgical treatment for morbid obesity and can improve control of DM and hypertension (HTN).

Summary: The study demonstrates that laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) can effectively result in significant weight loss in adolescents, but the long-term effectiveness varies among individuals. Standardized long-term follow-up is crucial for ensuring the success of this bariatric procedure.

Summary: This study compared the short-term outcomes of primary and revisional bariatric surgeries. The results showed that primary surgeries were associated with better weight loss outcomes and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities compared to revisional surgeries. Revisional RYGB resulted in more weight loss than revisional SG. Revisional surgeries were effective and safe in treating obesity and related comorbidities after a failed AGB.

Summary: Sleeve gastrectomy is a commonly performed bariatric surgery, with rising prevalence of gastric sleeve stenosis (GSS). Management with pneumatic dilation is successful but underused due to lack of diagnostic criteria. This study aimed to develop quantifiable endoscopic criteria for GSS diagnosis, finding an association between narrowest to widest gastric lumen diameter ratio and presence of bilious fluid with EndoFLIP and gastric lumen morphology diagnosis. Further studies are needed to validate these criteria.

Summary: This study investigates the outcome of one-stage and two-stage Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as a revision procedure after failed adjustable gastric banding (AGB). The results show that both one-stage and two-stage RYGB are safe and feasible for removing a failed AGB. There were differences in perioperative complications and remission of comorbidities between the two groups, as well as a significant difference in operating time. However, there were no significant benefits in terms of change in weight and BMI for either group.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as a revisional procedure after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and identified predictors of outcomes. The results showed that revision LSG provided long-term weight loss, but had significantly more complications and higher re-operation rates compared to primary LSG. Predictors of worse outcomes included eroded band, multiple prior bands, severe esophageal dysmotility, and elevated baseline weight.

Summary: This study compared the safety of single- versus two-stage conversion of adjustable gastric band (AGB) to gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedures, and found that single-stage conversion was associated with lower morbidity. Conversion to SG appeared to be safer than RYGB.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of conversion to OAGB after failed LAGB, showing that OAGB is a safe and effective option with satisfactory postoperative morbidity and weight loss outcomes. Both synchronous OAGB and two-step revisional OAGB guarantee satisfying results in terms of postoperative morbidity and weight loss outcomes.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of one-stage Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RRYGB) and primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (PRYGB) after Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). The results showed that one-stage RRYGB after LAGB is safe and effective, with comparable rates of complications, re-interventions, and resolution of associated comorbid conditions compared to PRYGB.

Summary: Revisional LAGB may be considered a valid salvage procedure in patients with weight regain or inadequate weight loss after RYGB, achieving a total %EWL of 60.7 +/- 28%. Complications related to the band and port remain a notable concern.

Summary: This study evaluates the influence of vitamin D concentrations and preoperative metabolic phenotypes on the remission of CNCDs after RYGB. The results suggest that preoperative vitamin D adequacy may have a protective effect on metabolic health, even in the presence of an unhealthy phenotype.

Summary: A mouse model for one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) surgery was generated and characterized in this study. The results showed that OAGB-operated mice exhibited significant differences in weight, blood parameters, and energy metabolism compared to sham-operated mice. This model provides a basis for studying the effects of OAGB surgery.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of converting LAGB to OAGB and SG for insufficient weight loss or weight regain. OAGB patients had better weight reduction and resolution of type 2 diabetes compared to SG patients at 5 years.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide 1.8 mg in participants undergoing laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The results showed that there was no additional improvement in glycemic control or body weight with liraglutide therapy. However, the study was underpowered to detect significant changes in the primary and secondary outcomes.
