Greater Weight Loss with the Omega Loop Bypass Compared to the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: a Comparative Study

Abstract

In this short-term study, we observed a greater weight loss with OLB and similar efficiency on metabolic control compared to RYGBP. Long-term evaluation is necessary to confirm these outcomes.

Laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass in patients age 60 and older

“…After performing various bariatric operations, the author was trained in the LMGBP by Dr. Rutledge and has been conferring with the other LMGBP surgeons worldwide, especially at the annual Paris LMGB Consensus Conferences. Papers have been published showing superiority of the LMGBP to the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and the sleeve gastrectomy (SG) [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

Presentation and surgical management of leaks after mini–gastric bypass for morbid obesity

“…First, the number of patients included in our study was too low to achieve a powerful statistical analysis. Second, as already shown in previous studies [10,11,29], MGB is technically less challenging than RYGB even when dealing with unfavorable patients' body habitus and/or after revisional surgery. …”

“…In several studies MGB has shown to be a safe option for treatment of obese patients and easier when compared to other malabsorptive procedures [10,[26][27][28][29]. Furthermore, in a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial, MGB was shown to be as effective as the standard RYGB [9].…”

Mini-Gastric Bypass for Bariatric Surgery Increasing Worldwide

“…Comparative studies have documented more durable weight loss after the MGB [3,13,22,[52][53][54][55]. Also, better quality of life has been found after MGB [56,57].…”
