Summary: This study found that LAGB surgery, which constricts the stomach, can indirectly alter brain activation in response to food cues, potentially leading to changes in food craving and preference that support sustained weight loss after surgery.

Summary: This study compares the efficacy and safety of revision laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (RLSG) after gastric banding (GB) to primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (PLSG). The results show that PLSG patients had significantly higher weight loss at 36 months compared to RLSG patients, but the weight loss was similar at 60 months. There were no significant differences in functional and surgical complications between the two groups.

Summary: The study evaluated the risks and long-term outcomes of OAGB over a 20-year period, finding that it is a safe and durable bariatric procedure with sustained weight loss and high resolution of type 2 diabetes, although malnutrition is a major side effect.

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: 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 article reports a case of serious complications after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) surgery. The gastric band eroded the gastric wall and migrated to the jejunum, resulting in intestinal obstruction and jejunal perforation. The authors recommend regular outpatient gastroscopic follow-up for patients to prevent serious complications.

Summary: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery is a minimally invasive procedure for weight loss, but close follow-up and aftercare are essential to prevent severe complications. We report a case of LAGB-related systemic complications due to lack of postoperative care.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of lengthening the biliopancreatic limb in RYGB and OAGB, finding that they were similarly effective in weight loss and remission of comorbidities, with OAGB being faster and LPRYGB resulting in better quality of life post-surgery.

Summary: This study aims to reach a consensus on the management of laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB), with consensus reached on 25 out of 34 statements. The consensus statements are intended to guide practice but do not involve credentialing.

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.

Summary: This study found that performing single-port sleeve gastrectomy in specific patients is feasible and non-inferior when compared to multiple-port sleeve gastrectomy. Further studies are needed to clarify the efficacy and safety of single-port sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: After 5 years of follow-up, it was found that LRYGB resulted in greater weight loss and better improvement in hypertension compared to LSG, but there was no significant difference in remission of T2DM, obstructive sleep apnoea, or quality of life. The complication rate was higher after LRYGB, but the individual burden for patients with complications was similar after both operations.

Summary: Revisional gastric bypass surgery for failed gastric banding patients showed higher complication rates compared to primary RYGB. Despite a greater postoperative weight increase in the revisional group at 12-month follow-up, the difference was not statistically significant. Changes in weight and BMI did not differ significantly between the two groups.

Summary: This study found that preoperative gastric volume cannot predict weight loss one year after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). It is not correlated with age, sex, or preoperative weight and BMI.

Summary: Pouch resizing after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) results in a failure rate of 47% at the 10-year follow-up, while the resolution of comorbidities is maintained over time despite significant weight regain.
