Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and SG are associated with comparable remission rates of T2DM. However, insufficient weight loss or weight regain in those with a more advanced disease may hamper the benefits of these surgical techniques on T2DM.
The results of our study confirm that %TWL should be the metric of choice when reporting WL because it is less influenced by preoperative BMI. Eleven percent of patients failed to achieve successful WL during the in the first year after RYGB based on our definition.
This is the largest reported cohort (n = 900) with long-term postoperative glycemic follow-up, which, for the first time, categorizes T2DM into 3 validated severity stages for evidence-based procedure selection.
Bariatric surgery is feasible and safe in morbidly obese patients suffering from IBD. In addition to being an effective weight loss procedure, bariatric surgery may help mitigate symptoms in this patient population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
