“…This study aimed to assess the quality of life post-bariatric surgery in Saudi Arabia using a validated questionnaire based on previous studies from Moorehead et al (M-A QoLQII Scoring Key). The distribution of age and gender was similar to that reported by previous studies conducted among our population of interest [25,26].…”

“…The increasing prevalence of obesity among the Saudi population has led to an increase in the number of bariatric surgeries in the past 20 years, representing an effective and reliable method for weight loss and decreasing obesity-related complications [25]. There are no available data regarding the assessment of the quality of life and its associated factors following bariatric surgery in Arab countries.…”

BackgroundBariatric surgery has emerged as the most successful and long-lasting treatment for weight loss because of its effect on losing weight, diminution or elimination of sedentary lifestyle-related comorbidities, and a concomitant decrease in mortality and healthcare expenditures. Understanding its effects on the quality of life of patients is a crucial aspect of treatment. This study aims to assess the quality of life and its associated factors following bariatric surgery in Saudi Arabia. MethodologyIn this cross-sectional study, 400 adult patients who had undergone bariatric surgery were recruited from different regions in Saudi Arabia between December 2021 and February 2022. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). ResultsOf the 400 participants, 160 (40%) were males and 240 (60%) were females. The average weight of the participants before surgery was 113.9 ± 18.7 kg (range = 84-146 kg) and after surgery was 84.8 ± 18.3 kg (range = 58-138 kg). The average quality of life score was -0.13 ± 2.0 (range = -3-3). Most of the participants (35%) had a fair quality of life, 25% had very poor quality, 20% had very good quality, 15% had good quality, and 5% had poor quality of life. A statistically significant association (p < 0.001) was found with the following factors: gender, age, nationality, educational level, marital status, and history of chronic diseases. ConclusionsQuality of life following bariatric surgery was mostly reported to be fair or average. Several sociodemographic factors were found to be associated with the reported quality of life including age, gender, nationality, educational level, marital status, and history of chronic disease or comorbidities.

“…They also described improvements in obesity-related co-morbidities including diabetes and hypertension in patients after SG surgery [1]. Another study reported similar results, again noting weight loss, mitigation of obesity-associated complications and improved general health [18]. A study that was performed on 7 males and 11 female with T2DM who underwent SG, revealed that there was an improvement of T2DM following 12 months of the surgery [24].…”

“…The safety profile and efficacy of laparoscopic SG means that it is rapidly becoming a preferred procedure for the management of patients with obesity and its associated morbidities [18]. It is well-documented that the ghrelin plays a role in glucose homeostasis and can be used to evaluate insulin resistance in patients with significantly raised BMI [19,20].…”

“…However, these interventions may prove inadequate in achieving optimal weight loss for certain patients [ 3 ]. Consequently, there has been a growing number of obese patients seeking surgical treatment as a result of the failure of non-surgical measures to yield desired outcomes in terms of weight reduction, improvement of comorbidities, functional capacity, and quality of life [ 4 ].…”

Background: Obesity is a long-standing health issue in Saudi Arabia, known to be associated with various complications. The management of obesity encompasses both non-surgical and surgical interventions, such as sleeve gastrectomy. Although sleeve gastrectomy is one of the effective options for individuals with morbid obesity, it is not without potential complications. This study aims to examine the outcomes of patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective study was conducted on adult patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at King Fahad General Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between January 2017 and July 2022. Results: Among the 561 adult patients in the study, 53.5% were classified as having class III obesity, and 74.2% had comorbidities. Complications observed following the procedure included leaking (3.2%), symptomatic gallstone disease (2.9%), internal hernia (1.8%), and readmission (2.1%). There were no cases of bleeding, aspiration pneumonia, or mortality reported. Leakage and gallstone disease were more prevalent among patients classified as class I and II obesity, respectively, while internal hernia and readmission were more frequently observed in patients with class III obesity. Conclusion: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a viable procedure for managing obesity, as it is associated with minimal complications and no recorded mortality.
