Background. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is considered an effective and well-tolerated surgical procedure. In this retrospective study, we critically assessed efficacy and negative personal experiences (NPEs) after RYGB with a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ). Methods. This questionnaire study included 404 patients who had undergone RYGB. Analysis was performed using data from medical records, referral letters, and SAQs at an average of 33 months after procedure. We evaluated the occurrence of hypertension, CPEP use and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the amount of excess weight loss, degree of satisfaction and negative personal experiences (NPEs) related to the procedure, and adherence to a dedicated life style program and (non)attendance to followup. consults after surgery. Results. 42.3% of all SAQs were evaluable for analysis. T2DM remained similar, while hypertension and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) use decreased significantly; excess weight loss of ≥40% was reported in 69% and of <40% in 19%, a significant improvement. Absolute weight gain was reported in 10.5%, fatigue in 44.4%, dysphagia in 11.6%, and other NPEs in 7.6%. Dissatisfaction over weight loss was reported in 9.4%. Mean number of follow-up visits was 9.6 per respondent, while nonattendance of any follow-up visit consults occurred in 1.8%. Conclusions. The use of post-RYGB SAQs provided evaluable data in 42.3%. Treatment failure after RYGB appears to be relevant, encouraging the use of SAQ studies in large cohorts.

Introduction. Obesity is among the newest health matters that human beings are struggling with. Length of bypassed intestine is important in achievement of most weight loss and least nutritional and absorptive disorders. This study has aimed to assess short-term metabolic and nutritional effects of laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass/one anastomosis gastric bypass (MGB/OAGB) with a loop bypass length of 180 centimeters (cm) and compare these factors among patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40–45 and 45–50 kilograms per square meter (kg/m2). Methods. 25 patients were put in group 1 (BMI = 40–45 kg/m2) and 25 patients in group 2 (BMI = 45–50 kg/m2). Patients’ BMI, postoperative weight, excess weight loss, and laboratory tests including fasting blood sugar (FBS), lipid profile, serum iron (Fe), ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), 25-OH vitamin D, vitamin B12, liver function tests, and albumin were recorded preoperatively and within 3- and 6-month follow-up. Results. Weight loss and BMI reduction was significantly more in patients with higher BMI level (P=0.007), and excess weight loss was higher in patients with lower preoperative BMI level (P=0.007). Six-month follow-up showed statistically significant reduction in total cholesterol, total triglyceride, Fe, and vitamin B12 among patients with higher BMI level (P value <0.05). Conclusion. Based on this study, 180-cm intestinal bypassed length works for patients with a BMI level of 40–45 and 45–50 kg/m2, according to their significant decrease in weight, BMI, and improving glycolipid profile.

BACKGROUND: After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to avoid rapid gastric emptying, dumping syndrome and regained weight due to possible dilation of the gastric pouch, was proposed to place a ring around the gastric pouch. AIM: To compare weight loss, consumption of macronutrients and the frequency of vomiting among patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with and without the placement of a constriction ring around the pouch. METHOD: A retrospective study, in which an analysis of medical records was carried out, collecting data of two groups of patients: those who underwent the operation with the placement of a constriction ring (Ring Group) and those who underwent without the placement of a ring (No-Ring Group). The food intake data were analyzed using three 24-hour recalls collected randomly in postoperative nutritional accompaniment. Data on the percentage of excess weight loss and the occurrence of vomiting were collected using the weight corresponding to the most recent report at the time of data collection. RESULTS: Medical records of 60 patients were analyzed: 30 from the Ring Group (women: 80%) and 30 from the No-Ring Group (women: 87%). The average time since the Ring Group underwent the operation was 88±17.50 months, and for the No-Ring Group 51±15.3 months. The percentage of excess weight loss did not differ between the groups. The consumption of protein (g), protein/kg of weight, %protein and fiber (g) were higher in the No-Ring Group. The consumption of lipids (g) was statistically higher in the Ring Group. The percentage of patients who never reported any occurrence was statistically higher in the No-Ring Group (80%vs.46%). The percentage who frequently reported the occurrence was statistically higher in the Ring Group (25%vs.0%). CONCLUSION: The placement of a ring seems to have no advantages in weight loss, favoring a lower intake of protein and fiber and a higher incidence of vomiting, factors that have definite influence in the health of the bariatric patient.

Ο στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν η σύγκριση των αποτελεσμάτων και των μεταβολικών επιπλοκών της γαστρικής παράκαμψης Roux-en-Y και μιας εκδοχής της χολοπαγκρεατικής εκτροπής σε έναν αποκλειστικά non-superobese πληθυσμό. Τα κύρια χαρακτηριστικά της χολοπαγκρεατικής εκτροπής ήταν: γαστρικός θύλακος 15±5L, χολοπαγκρεατική έλικα 200, κοινό κανάλι 100 και διατροφική έλικα το λοιπό λεπτό έντερο. Τα κύρια χαρακτηριστικά της RYGBP ήταν: γαστρικός θύλακος 15±5L, χολοπαγκρεατική έλικα 60, Roux έλικα 100 και κοινό κανάλι το υπόλοιπο μήκος του λεπτού εντέρου. Από 130 ασθενείς με BMI 35-50 kg/m², οι 65 υποβλήθηκαν σε RYGBP και οι 65 σε BPD. Όλοι οι ασθενείς ολοκλήρωσαν το δεύτερο μετεγχειρητικό έτος. Η μέση απώλεια υπερβάλλοντος βάρους (excess weight loss, %EWL) ήταν καλύτερη μετά από BPD καθόλη τη διάρκεια του follow-up, ενώ στα 2 χρόνια η EWL ήταν >50% στο 100% των ασθενών της BPD σε σύγκριση με το 88.7% της RYGBP. Η παθολογική ανοχή γλυκόζης, η υπερχοληστερολαιμία, η υπερτριγλυκεριδαιμία και η υπνική άπνοια παρουσίασαν πλήρη ύφεση και στις δύο ομάδες, αλλά τα μέσα επίπεδα ολικής χοληστερόλης ήταν σημαντικά χαμηλότερα μετά από BPD στα 2 χρόνια. Ο διαβήτης υποχώρησε πλήρως σε όλους τους ασθενείς της BPD και σε 7 στους 10 ασθενείς της RYGBP. Δεν παρατηρήθηκαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές στις πρώιμες και όψιμες μη μεταβολικές επιπλοκές. Υποαλβουμιναιμία παρατηρήθηκε σε 1 ασθενή της RYGBP (1.5%) και σε 6 ασθενείς της BPD (9.2%). Μόνο ένας ασθενής από κάθε ομάδα χρειάστηκε νοσηλεία και ολική παρεντερική διατροφή. Συμπεραίνουμε πως οι μεταβολικές επιπλοκές μετά από BPD δεν ήταν σοβαρές και δεν παρουσίαζαν στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά ανάμεσα στις δύο ομάδες, οπότε και οι δύο επεμβάσεις είναι ασφαλείς και αποτελεσματικές σε non-superobese πληθυσμούς, αλλά η BPD είναι πιο αποτελεσματική στην απώλεια βάρους και στην επίλυση του διαβήτη και τηςυπερχοληστερολαιμίας.
