“…Many stress the importance of very close patient follow-up and education, some even introducing the notion of partnership between the patient and the bariatric team. Some authors attempt to select patients on the basis of preoperative factors, such as anatomic and functional studies of the upper GI tract [11,[33][34][35][36][37], age/sex/BMI of the patients, or their willingness to durably modify their eating habits and their lifestyle [38]. All published series of GB for morbid obesity include a cohort of patients, variable in size, with excellent results both in terms of weight loss, and overall quality of life.…”

Laparoscopic Gastric Banding Outcomes Do Not Depend on Device or Technique. Long-Term Results of a Prospective Randomized Study Comparing the Lapband® and the SAGB®

Although in the absence of complication, gastric banding leads to acceptable weight loss; the long-term complication and major reoperation rates are very high independently from the type of band used or on the operative technique. Gastric banding leads to relatively poor overall long-term results and therefore should not be considered the procedure of choice for the treatment of morbid obesity. Patients should be informed of the limited overall weight loss and the very high complication rates.

“…But upper endoscopy fails to demonstrate the majority of small hiatal hernias in these patients preoperatively. [14] found in their study that endoscopy and pH monitoring do not predict outcome for gastric banding, and therefore stated that these have no relevance in the selection of patients for gastric banding. They felt that hiatal hernias are grossly underappreciated in patients with morbid obesity, due to the presence of a large distal oesophageal fat pad.…”

Background:The recognition and management of diaphragmatic hernias during bariatric surgery remains a challenge and the need for its repair has changed during the last decade. The aim of the current study was to evaluate whether Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) is a viable solution for patients with a concomitant hiatal hernia discovered during surgery.Methods: A retrospective cohort study, which included the exposed group composed of patients who underwent LAGB between 2000 and 2016, with a concomitant hiatal hernia discovered during surgery. A control group was randomly chosen from a group of patients who underwent a primary LAGB between these years. The two groups were matched regarding basic demographic variables. Results:The study included 59 patients, 12 in the exposed group and 47 in the non-exposed (no hernia repair) group. In both groups, BMI decreased after the procedure without significant statistical differences. There was no significant difference in the BAROS score between the two groups. No pronounced difference was found in the general amount of post-surgical complications in the study group compared to the control group. Operating time was longer in the study group. Conclusion:Hiatal hernia repair during LAGB is as effective as primary LAGB without hiatal hernia.

“…Baseline measurements were made with all side-holes positioned in the stomach; by means of the station pull-through method, the catheter was pulled back through the high-pressure zone of the gastroesophageal junction until it has reached the upper esophageal sphincter. The LES was considered mechanically incompetent, if the LESP was 6 mmHg or lower, the intra-abdominal LES length was 1 cm or shorter and/or the total LES length was 2 cm or shorter [15,16].…”

Quantitative Assessment of Visceral Fat in Morbidly Obese Patients by Means of Wide-Bore MRI and its Relation to Lower Esophageal Sphincter Pressure and Signs of Gastroesophageal Reflux

VAT did not show a positive correlation with BMI in our cohort of extremely obese subjects, indicating a pronounced fat deposition in subcutaneous tissue compartment. Moreover, this indicates that VAT is limited to a gender-dependent maximum volume for each individual and seems to be no further increasing in extremely obese subjects. This might be the reason that neither symptoms nor endoscopic findings of GERD nor LESP were significantly influenced by the stage of morbid obesity.
