Background: Maximum Preoperative Weight Loss (MPWL) is defined as the maximum amount of weight lost in a patient's lifetime prior to Weight Loss Surgery (WLS). We hypothesized that higher MPWL would predict greater postoperative weight loss in patients who underwent WLS. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study of patients who underwent WLS from 2004-2012. Outcomes were compared at 3, 6, and 12 months.
A 51-year old Caucasian female had presented with intractable Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), chronic dysphagia and food intolerance over a period of 6 years following a sleeve gastrectomy. With conservative management options having failed she underwent a Revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Although the patient did well initially, she developed dysphagia once again with her BMI falling to 17.7 (initial BMI 44.6).
Purpose: Due to resource limitations, psychological support for bariatric patients needs to be targeted to those most in need. This study aimed to evaluate the resource implications of a brief triage tool to identify and support those most at risk from poorer outcomes.
Introduction: An online questionnaire was filled out by pre-registered experienced attendees prior to the Annual Mini-Gastric Bypass (MGB) – One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) Conference held at Naples, Italy, July 2017.
