Significant Difference

We examined the effect of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) on weight loss, inflammatory markers, and components of the Metabolic Syndrome (MeS) in morbidly obese adolescents and determined if those with MeS lose less weight post-LAGB than those without. Data from 14–18 yr adolescents were obtained at baseline, 6 and 12 months following LAGB. Significant weight loss and improvements in MeS components were observed 6 months and one year following LAGB. The incidence of MeS declined 56.8% after 6 months and 69.6% after 12 months. There was no significant difference in amount of weight lost post-LAGB between those with and without MeS at either timepoint. Correlations between change in weight parameters and components of MeS in those with and without MeS at baseline were examined and found to vary by diagnostic category. LAGB is effective for short-term improvement in weight, inflammatory markers, and components of MeS in morbidly obese adolescents.

Background and Purpose: Weight loss in morbidly obese patients reduces atrial fibrillation (AF); however, it is unknown whether similar benefits are maintained in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We sought to determine whether incident AF and stroke rates are affected by OSA after weight loss and to identify predictors of AF and stroke. Methods: Differences in laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding–induced weight loss on incident AF and stroke events in those with and without OSA in the entire and in propensity-matched cohorts were determined longitudinally, and independent predictors of AF and stroke were identified. Results: Of 827 morbidly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (mean age, 44±11 years; mean body mass index, 49±8 kg/m 2 ), incident AF was documented in 4.96% and stroke in 5.44% of patients during a mean 6.0±3.2-year follow-up. Despite a similar reduction in body weight (19.6% and 21% in 3 years), new-onset AF was significantly higher in patients with OSA than without OSA in the entire (1.7% versus 0.5% per year; P <0.001) and propensity-matched cohorts. Incident stroke was higher in the OSA than in the non-OSA group (2.10% versus 0.47% per year; P <0.001), but only 20% of patients with stroke had documented AF. On multivariate analysis, OSA (hazard ratio, 2.88 [95% CI, 1.45–5.73]), age, and hypertension were independent predictors of new-onset AF, and OSA (hazard ratio, 5.84 [95% CI, 3.02–11.30]), depression, and body mass index were for stroke events. Conclusions: In morbidly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, despite similar weight loss, patients with OSA had a higher incidence of AF and stroke than patients without OSA. Both non-AF and AF-related factors were involved in increasing stroke risk. Further investigation is warranted into whether OSA treatment helps reduce AF or stroke events in this population.

Abstract Background The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common bariatric procedure performed worldwide while the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) has been almost abandoned. Aim of this study was to retrospectively assess 10-year outcomes of LSG through a matched comparison with LAGB. Materials and Methods Retrospective search of prospectively maintained database of our university was carried out to find all patients that underwent LSG before December 2010. Each subject with LSG was matched one-to-one with a patient that had undergone LAGB in the same period with correspondent preoperative age, BMI, and sex. Results A total of 76 patients underwent LSG before 2010 and were all included in this study; a matched group of 76 out of 178 LAGB patients with 10-year follow-up was retrieved from our database. Comparison between the two groups showed better outcomes after LSG at 1 and 5 years but weight loss was comparable with the LAGB group at 10 years (%TWL 22.2 ± 13 vs 21.2 ± 16.1; p = 0.89). No significant difference was found in conversion/removal rate (15.8% vs 18.4%; p = 0.67). Conclusion LSG is an effective stand-alone bariatric procedure with better outcomes than LAGB in medium term, but results are comparable at 10 years. Subjects undergoing LSG should be informed that conversion to RYGB or OAGB may be necessary to achieve further weight loss or to treat reflux. Graphical abstract
