RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The objectives of this study were to examine temporal trends in the incidence of bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG)) in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Outcomes of hospitalization and the impact of T2DM on these outcomes were also analyzed. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We performed an observational study with the Spanish national hospital discharge database. Obese patients with and without T2DM who underwent RYGB and SG between 2016 and 2022 were identified. Propensity score matching (PSM) and logistic regression were used to compare patients with and without T2DM and to evaluate the effect of T2DM and other variables on outcomes of surgery. A variable "severity" was created to cover patients who died in hospital or were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). RESULTS: A total of 32,176 bariatric surgery interventions were performed (28.86% with T2DM). 31.57% of RYGBs and 25.53% of SG patients had T2DM. The incidence of RYGB and SG increased significantly between 2016 and 2022 (p<0.001), with a higher incidence in those with T2DM than in those without (incidence rate ratio 4.07 (95% CI 3.95 to 4.20) for RYGB and 3.02 (95% CI 2.92 to 3.14) for SG). In patients who underwent SG, admission to the ICU and severity were significantly more frequent in patients with T2DM than in those without (both p<0.001). In the multivariate analysis, having T2DM was associated with more frequent severity in those who received SG (OR 1.23; 95% CI 1.07 to 1.42). CONCLUSIONS: Between 2016 and 2022, bariatric surgery procedures performed in Spain increased in patients with and without T2DM. More interventions were performed on patients with T2DM than on patients without T2DM. RYGB was the most common procedure in patients with T2DM. The presence of T2DM was associated with more severity after SG.

Background and Objectives: The prevalence of GERD is increasing among individuals with obesity, and RYGB is an effective procedure to control GERD and obesity. However, some patients continue to have GERD after RYGB. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and the risk factors for GERD after RYGB. Material and Methods: This prospective study included 180 RYGB patients followed for an average of 12.2 (0.6) years. In total, 126 (70%) patients agreed to participate and provided data on their weight, GERD symptoms, and filled the GERD-HRQL, TFEQ-18, and GSRS questionnaires. Results: The average age before surgery was 42.7 (10.5) years, and BMI was 45.2 (6.4) kg/m2. Moreover, 128 (71.1%) were females, and preoperative GERD was diagnosed in 74 (41.1%) patients. At the 12-year follow-up, the mean %EBMIL and %TWL was 60.37 and 25.73, respectively. The median %WR was 18.0 (39.0). Postoperative GERD was present in 30 (23.8%) patients, of whom 12 (40%) continued to have GERD symptoms and 18 (60%) developed de novo GERD. The GERD-HRQL score significantly decreased from 3.0 (9.0) at baseline to 2.0 (5.0) (p = 0.028) at 12 years. GSRS Diarrhea and Indigestion scores increased significantly from 1.33 (0.67) to 1.5 (2.42) (p < 0.001) and from 2.0 (1.25) to 2.25 (1.25) (p < 0.001), respectively. No change in the cognitive restraint score was observed. Uncontrolled eating and emotional eating scores decreased from 51.85 (22.22) to 40.74 (33.33) (p < 0.001) and from 44.44 (44.44) to 33.33 (22.22) (p < 0.001), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, %WR > 11 (OR = 3.22, p = 0.029) and GSRS Diarrhea score (OR = 3.21, p = 0.027) were significant predictors of GERD 12 years after RYGB. Conclusions: RYGB was an effective procedure to control GERD; however, 23.8% had persistent or de novo GERD after 12 years. The independent risk factors associated with GERD after RYGB were weight regain and GSRS Diarrhea score.

PURPOSE: There is an abundance of online information related to bariatric surgery. Patients may prefer a specific type of bariatric surgery based on what they read online. The primary aim of this study was to determine online search trends in bariatric surgery over time in Australia and worldwide. The secondary aim was to establish a relationship between public online search activity and the types of bariatric surgery performed in Australia. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The terms "adjustable gastric band," "sleeve gastrectomy," and "gastric bypass surgery" were submitted for search volume analysis in Australia and worldwide using the Google Trends "Topic" search function. This was compared alongside the numbers of gastric bandings, sleeve gastrectomies, and gastric bypass surgeries performed in Australia over time to determine if there was a relationship between the two. RESULTS: Search trends for "adjustable gastric band" and "sleeve gastrectomy" in Australia were similar to trends seen worldwide. However, search trends for "gastric bypass surgery" differ between Australia and the rest of the world. It took at least a year for online searches to reflect the higher number of sleeve gastrectomies performed relative to gastric bandings. There was a lag time of over four years before online searches reflected the higher number of gastric bypass surgery performed compared to gastric banding. CONCLUSION: Search interests in Australia and worldwide were similar for gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy but different for gastric bypass surgery. Online search activity did not have a significant association with the types of bariatric surgery being performed in Australia.

PURPOSE: Bariatric surgery is considered the main treatment option for patients with severe obesity. The objective of our study is to compare intra- and postoperative outcomes between the robotic and laparoscopic approaches within the sleeve gastrectomy (SG), duodenal switch (DS), and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data from the MBSAQIP were collected for patients who underwent SG, DS, and RYGB between 2015 and 2021. The postoperative and procedural outcomes including 30-day morbidity and mortality as well as operation length were analyzed using regression models. RESULTS: Our analysis included 1,178,886 surgeries with SG comprising the majority (70%) followed by RYGB (28%) and DS (1%). Other than a higher adjusted risk of unplanned reoperation for robotic RYGB (relative risk (RR) 1.07) and a statistically significant higher rate of postoperative wound disruption in robotic SG for robotic surgery (RR 1.56), there were no statistically significant between-approach differences including infection, wound disruption, death, or reoperation for DS, RYGB, or SG. Our data showed no significant difference in anastomotic leak rate between laparoscopic and robotic approaches in either the DS (p = 0.521) or RYGB (p = 0.800) procedures. Across our study period, the median operation lengths decreased significantly per year for both the robotic SG and DS. CONCLUSIONS: Robotic and laparoscopic bariatric surgical procedures have statistically similar 30-day patient outcomes. Robotic bariatric procedures do have significantly longer median operative times than laparoscopic procedures. The decision to use a robotic approach or laparoscopic approach should be made based upon surgeon experience and possibly cost.

BACKGROUND: Ambulatory bariatric surgery has recently gained interest especially as a potential way to improve access for eligible patients with severe obesity. Building on our previously published research, this follow-up study delves deeper in the evolving landscape of ambulatory bariatric surgery over a 3-year period, focusing on predictors of success/failure. METHODS: In a prospective single-center follow-up study, we conducted a descriptive assessment of all eligible patients as per our established protocol, who underwent a planned same-day discharge (SDD) primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) between 03/01/2021 and 02/29/2024. Trends in SDD surgeries over time were assessed over six discrete 6 month intervals. Primary endpoint was defined as a successful discharge on the day of surgery without emergency department visit or readmission within 24 h. Secondary outcomes included 30-day postoperative morbidity. RESULTS: A total of 811 primary SG and 325 RYGB procedures were performed during the study period. Among them, 30% (n = 244) were SDD-SGs and 6% (n = 21) were SDD-RYGBs, respectively. At baseline, median age of the entire SDD cohort was 43 years old, 81% were females, and body mass index (BMI) was 44.5 kg/m2. The planned SDD approach was successful in 89% after SG (n = 218/244) and in 90% after RYGB (n = 19/21). Nausea/vomiting was the main reason for a failed SDD approach after SG (46%). The 30-day readmission rate was 1.5% (n = 4) for the entire SDD cohort including only one readmission in the first 24 h. The percentage of SDD-SGs performed as a proportion of total SGs increased over the initial five consecutive six-month intervals (14%, 25%, 24%, 38%, and 49%). CONCLUSION: Our SDD protocol for bariatric surgery demonstrates a favorable safety profile, marked by high success rate and low postoperative morbidity. These outcomes have led to a continued increase in ambulatory procedures performed over time especially SG.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of obesity in African Americans (AAs) is higher than in non-AA in the USA. Previous studies using large national databases report that AA patients have worse outcomes than non-AA patients. OBJECTIVES: To assess perioperative outcomes among AA patients after MBS at a center of excellence (COE) that serves a large, diverse patient population. SETTING: University Hospital METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on patients undergoing MBS between 2010 and 2020 at our two accredited MBSAQIP (Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program) COEs where the AA population makes up over 35% of the population. Preoperative variables were compared using unpaired t-test or chi-squared test where appropriate. Thirty-day outcomes were compared following propensity score matching (exact algorithm) of demographics and comorbidities. RESULTS: Overall, 5742 patients (AA = 2058, 36%) had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (AA = 1028, 26%) or sleeve gastrectomy (AA = 1030, 27%). AA patients were more often female (90.2% vs. 80.2%, p < 0.001) and had higher rates of hypertension (56.3% vs. 47.8%, p < 0.001), while non-AA patients had higher rates of hyperlipidemia (27.3% vs. 20.7%, p < 0.001) and obstructive sleep apnea (41.2% vs. 37.1%, p = 0.0024). Matched data showed that AA patients had higher rates of pulmonary embolism (PE) (0.3% vs. 0.1%, p = 0.020) and more emergency department visits (7.0% vs. 5.1%, p = 0.012) but no differences in mortality, readmission, reintervention, or reoperation rates. CONCLUSIONS: In a diverse area, AA patients who underwent MBS had similar perioperative outcomes compared to non-AA patients except that they experienced higher rates of PE. They also experienced higher rates of emergency department visits but had similar readmission rates.

PURPOSE: The long-term need for biliary duct intervention following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) is uncertain. We investigated the rate of laparoscopic assisted retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LAERCP) following RYGB. Also, the pre-LAERCP diagnostic workup together with the true rate of choledocholithiasis in patients with or without prior cholecystectomy was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of RYGB and LAERCP performed at the Hospital South West Jutland, University Hospital of Southern Denmark, from 1 January 2013 to 31 May 2022. RESULTS: One percent of patients (n = 13) with a history of RYGB (n = 1363) underwent LAERCP at our facility during a median follow-up of 60.6 months. The stone extraction rate was 66.7% in patients with in situ gallbladder and 12.5% in patients with prior cholecystectomy. Cannulation of the common bile duct was achieved in 96.7% of cases. Postoperative complications were observed in 22.6% of the cases. CONCLUSION: Approximately 1% of RYGB patients needed LAERCP during a median follow-up of 5 years. In patients with a history of cholecystectomy, the LAERCP rate of stone extraction was very low (12.5%).

PURPOSE: Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) was once the most popular bariatric procedure in the 1980's, with many patients subsequently requiring conversional surgery. However, knowledge regarding the prevalence and outcomes of these procedures remains limited. This study aims to determine the prevalence, indications, rate of 30-day serious complications, and mortality of conversional surgery after VBG. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the MBSAQIP database from 2020 to 2022 was conducted. Individuals undergoing conversional or revisional surgery after VBG were included. The primary outcomes were 30-day serious complications and mortality. RESULTS: Of 716 VBG conversions, the common procedures included 660 (92.1%) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and 56 (7.9%) sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The main indication for conversion was weight gain for RYGB (31.0%) and for SG (41.0%). RYGB had longer operative times than SG (223.7 vs 130.5 min, p < 0.001). Although not statistically significant, serious complications were higher after RYGB (14.7% vs 8.9%, p = 0.2). Leak rates were higher after SG (5.4 vs 3.5%) but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.4). Mortality was similar between RYGB and SG (1.2 vs 1.8%, p = 0.7). Multivariable regression showed higher body mass index, longer operative time, previous cardiac surgery and black race were independently associated with serious complications. Conversion to RYGB was not predictive of serious complications compared to SG (OR 0.96, 95%CI 0.34-2.67, p = 0.9). CONCLUSIONS: Conversional surgery after VBG is uncommon, and the rate of complications and mortality remains high. Patients should be thoroughly evaluated and informed about these risks before undergoing conversion from VBG.

PURPOSE: Revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) after primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is indicated for the efficient management of specific complications such as bile reflux. Published literature on this topic remains scarce as we aim to evaluate the long-term outcomes (10 years) of RBS for bile reflux after RYGB. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective study of patients who underwent primary RYGB complicated by bile reflux and had RBS between 2008 and 2023. Our cohort was divided into two groups based on the etiology of bile reflux. Long-term surgical outcomes and nutritional status were reported and compared between the groups. RESULTS: A total of 41 patients (100% primary RYGB; 90.2% female, 97.6% white) were included. 56.1% (n = 23) of patients underwent Roux limb lengthening and the remaining 43.9% (n = 18) had a gastrogastric fistula takedown, with no significant differences in terms of intraoperative complications, estimated blood loss (p = 0.616), length of hospital stay (p = 0.099), and postoperative complications between the two groups. Long-term resolution of obesity-related medical conditions was demonstrated for all the evaluated comorbidities. Lastly, there was no reported mortality, bile reflux recurrence, or micro- and macro-nutrient deficiencies over the total follow-up period of 10 years. CONCLUSION: In our cohort, RBS after a primary RYGB for bile reflux management demonstrated safe and efficient short- and long-term surgical outcomes without any reported bile reflux recurrence or mortality. Adequate supplementation and close patient follow-up remain essential to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with RBS as further studies are required to support our findings.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate evolution of ultra-processed food intake and recurrent weight gain in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is an observational longitudinal study that evaluated patients who underwent metabolic and bariatric surgery at four time points: before surgery and at 3, 12, and 60 months after surgery. Anthropometric and dietary intake data were collected through two 24-h dietary recalls. All foods consumed were classified according to degree of processing. Recurrent weight gain was considered the difference between current weight and nadir weight. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 58 patients with a mean age of 38.7 ± 8.9 years and 68% female. After 60 months, mean excess weight loss and recurrent weight gain were 73.6 ± 27.2% and 22.5 ± 17.4%. Calorie and macronutrient intake decreased significantly between the pre-surgery period, and 3 and 12 months post-surgery; however, there was no significant difference after 60 months. In relation to food groups or macronutrients, no difference was observed between the pre-surgery period and 60 months post-surgery. The contribution of unprocessed or minimally processed foods to calorie intake gradually decreased after 3 months post-surgery. CONCLUSION: The profile of dietary intake after 60 months of metabolic and bariatric surgery tends to approach that of the pre-surgery period. The contribution of unprocessed and minimally processed foods to calorie intake decreased after 60 months, while ultra-processed food contribution increased.

BACKGROUND: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is gaining popularity worldwide due to its safety and effectiveness. OAGB is the most commonly performed metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) in Israel. Israel is the only country where OAGB is the most prevalent MBS. Our aim is to address OAGB technical aspects using a national survey completed by members of the Israeli Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ISMBS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: An online-survey composed of a 17-item-based questionnaire was sent to ISMBS members. All responses were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 47/64 (73.4%) ISMBS members participated in the survey. Most surgeons (74.5%) had > 10 years of MBS experience, and most (61.7%) performed > 100 MBS/year. The majority (78.7%) perform OAGB as their most common procedure. Most surgeons fashion a 10-15-cm pouch and use a 36-Fr bougie, (57.4% and 38.3%). Regarding bowel length measurement, 70% use visual estimation and 10.6% routinely measure total small bowel length (TSBL). The most common reasons for creating a longer biliopancreatic limb (BPL) were high body mass index (BMI) and revisional surgery (83.3% and 66%, respectively). In a primary procedure of a patient with a BMI = 40, most (76.6%) would create a 150-200-cm BPL. In patients with a BMI > 50 or revisional cases, most (70.2% and 68.0%) would create a 175-225-cm BPL. CONCLUSION: OAGB is the most prevalent MBS performed in Israel. This survey showed common preferences and variations among ISMBS members. Further studies are needed in order to standardize and build a consensus on OAGB technique.

BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) effectively treats severe obesity, but some patients may require revisional surgery like limb lengthening (LL) for postoperative weight gain. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to compare 30-day serious complications and mortality rates between LL and primary RYGB, given limited safety data on LL. METHODS: Patients who underwent LL and RYGB were identified from the 2020 and 2021 MBSAQIP databases, the only years in which LL data were available. Baseline characteristics and 30-day rates of serious complications and mortality were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 86,990 patients underwent RYGB and 455 underwent LL. Patients undergoing RYGB were younger (44.4 versus 49.8 yr, P < .001), had a higher body mass index (BMI) (45.5 versus 41.8 kg/m2, P < .001) and higher rates of comorbidities including diabetes (30.0 versus 13.6%, P < .001). RYGB and LL had similar operative duration (125.3 versus 123.2 min, P = .5). There were no statistical differences between cohorts for length of stay (LOS) (1.6 RYGB versus 1.6 LL d, P = .6). After LL, there were higher 30-day rates of reoperation (3.3 versus 1.9%, P = .03) and deep surgical site infections (1.3 versus .5%, P = .03) compared to RYGB. There were no differences in overall serious complications (5.1 LL versus 5.0% RYGB, P = 1.0) and mortality (.2 LL versus .1% RYGB, P = .5). Multivariable logistic regression adjustment found that previous venous thromboembolism was associated with serious complications after LL. CONCLUSIONS: When compared to primary RYGB, LL has a favorable safety profile with similar 30-day rates of serious complications and mortality.

INTRODUCTION: This study aims to investigate the influence of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on the utilization of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedures in Maryland. METHODS: Using the Maryland State Inpatient Database, this retrospective study compared all patients undergoing RYGB during the pre-ACA (2007-2009) and post-ACA (2018-2020) periods, including patient demographic factors, pre-existing conditions, and socioeconomic factors. RESULTS: A total of 16,494 RYGB procedures were performed during the study period, of which 12,089 (73.3 â%) were post-ACA. This was a 179.2 â% increase in patients undergoing RYGB post-ACA; nearly triple that of the pre-ACA period. There was a significant decrease in uninsured patients (5.6 â%-1.5 â%, p â< â0.01) an increase in Black patients (32.1 â%-46.8 â%, p â< â0.01) and Medicaid beneficiaries (6.0 â% pre-ACA to 17.8 â% post-ACA, p â< â0.01). There were significant reductions in adverse outcomes (long hospital stays, hemorrhage, GIT leaks, and mortality) across all insurance types (all p â< â0.01). CONCLUSION: The ACA increased access to RYGB procedures, especially in Black and Medicaid recipients in Maryland, enhancing healthcare across all insurance types.

INTRODUCTION: Bariatric surgery is effective in reversing adverse cardiac remodelling in obesity. However, it is unclear whether the three commonly performed operations; Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) and Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band (LAGB) are equal in their ability to reverse remodelling. METHODS: Fifty-eight patients underwent CMR to assess left ventricular mass (LVM), LV mass:volume ratio (LVMVR) and LV eccentricity index (LVei) before and after bariatric surgery (26 RYGB, 22 LSG and 10 LAGB), including 46 with short-term (median 251-273 days) and 43 with longer-term (median 983-1027 days) follow-up. Abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) were also assessed. RESULTS: All three procedures resulted in significant decreases in excess body weight (48-70%). Percentage change in VAT and EAT was significantly greater following RYGB and LSG compared to LAGB at both timepoints (VAT:RYGB -47% and -57%, LSG -47% and -54%, LAGB -31% and -25%; EAT:RYGB -13% and -14%, LSG -16% and -19%, LAGB -5% and -5%). Patients undergoing LAGB, whilst having reduced LVM (-1% and -4%), had a smaller decrease at both short (RYGB: -8%, p < 0.005; LSG: -11%, p < 0.0001) and long (RYGB: -12%, p = 0.009; LSG: -13%, p < 0.0001) term timepoints. There was a significant decrease in LVMVR at the long-term timepoint following both RYGB (-7%, p = 0.006) and LSG (-7%, p = 0.021), but not LAGB (-2%, p = 0.912). LVei appeared to decrease at the long-term timepoint in those undergoing RYGB (-3%, p = 0.063) and LSG (-4%, p = 0.015), but not in those undergoing LAGB (1%, p = 0.857). In all patients, the change in LVM correlated with change in VAT (r = 0.338, p = 0.0134), while the change in LVei correlated with change in EAT (r = 0.437, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: RYGB and LSG appear to result in greater decreases in visceral adiposity, and greater reverse LV remodelling with larger reductions in LVM, concentric remodelling and pericardial restraint than LAGB.

BACKGROUND: The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 marked a pivotal moment in American health care policy, significantly expanding access to health care services. This study aims to explore the relationship between the ACA and the utilization and outcomes of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery. METHODS: Using data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database, this retrospective study compares the pre-ACA period (2007-2009) with the post-ACA period (2017-2019), encompassing patients who had RYGB. Multivariable logistic analysis was done accounting for patient's characteristics, comorbidities, and hospital type. RESULTS: In the combined periods, there were 158 186 RYGB procedures performed, with 30.0% transpiring in pre-ACA and 70.0% in the post-ACA. Post-ACA, the proportion of uninsured patients decreased from 4.8% to 3.6% (P < .05), while Black patients increased from 12.5% to 18.5% (P < .05). Medicaid-insured patients increased from 6.8% to 18.1% (P < .05), and patients in the poorest income quartile increased from 20% to 26% (P < .05). Patients in the post-ACA period were less likely to have longer hospital stays (OR = .16: 95% CI .16-.17, P < .01), in-hospital mortality (OR = .29: 95% CI .18-.46, P < .01), surgical site infection (OR = .25: 95% CI .21-.29, P < .01), postop hemorrhage (OR = .24: 95% CI .21-.28, P < .01), and anastomotic leak (OR = .14: 95% CI .10-.18, P < .01) than those in the pre-ACA period. DISCUSSION: Following the implementation of the ACA, utilization of bariatric surgery significantly increased, especially among Black patients, Medicaid beneficiaries, and low-income patients. Moreover, despite the inclusion of more high-risk surgical patients in the post-ACA period, there were better outcomes after surgery.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common Bariatric procedure in the United States; however, the frequency of conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is unknown. OBJECTIVES: The primary aim was to determine the conversion rate over time from LSG to RYGB. The secondary objectives were to evaluate factors associated with conversion and postconversion weight loss outcomes. SETTING: Single Academic Institution, Center of Bariatric Excellence. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of all LSG from 2011 to 2020 was done. Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized to estimate the conversion rate over time after LSG. Cox regression was utilized to identify predictors of future conversion. RESULTS: Of 875 LSGs, 46 were converted to RYGB from 2011 to 2020. Median follow-up was 2.6 years, and 7-year follow-up rate was 59.9%. The 1-year conversion rate was 1.4%, increasing to 3.8%, 9.0%, and 12.6% at 3, 5, and 7 years respectively. Female gender (hazard ratio [HR] = 4.2, P = .05) and age <55 (HR = 3.5, P = .04) were associated with greater chance of conversion. Preoperative asthma (HR = 1.7, P = .14) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (HR = 1.5, P = .18) trended toward higher conversion but were not significant. Of those with body mass index (BMI) >35 at time of conversion, the mean total body weight loss (TBWL) was 13.0% at the time of conversion. This subgroup had additional 13.6% of TBWL 1-year after conversion. CONCLUSIONS: Conversion of LSG to RYGB increased with time to 12.6% conversion rate at 7-years. Patients with GERD prior to LSG had a nonsignificant trend toward conversion, while younger patients and females had significantly higher rates of conversion. There may be additional weight loss benefit for patients converted to RYGB.

Importance: Obesity increases the incidence and mortality from some types of cancer, but it remains uncertain whether intentional weight loss can decrease this risk. Objective: To investigate whether bariatric surgery is associated with lower cancer risk and mortality in patients with obesity. Design, Setting, and Participants: In the SPLENDID (Surgical Procedures and Long-term Effectiveness in Neoplastic Disease Incidence and Death) matched cohort study, adult patients with a body mass index of 35 or greater who underwent bariatric surgery at a US health system between 2004 and 2017 were included. Patients who underwent bariatric surgery were matched 1:5 to patients who did not undergo surgery for their obesity, resulting in a total of 30â¯318 patients. Follow-up ended in February 2021. Exposures: Bariatric surgery (n = 5053), including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, vs nonsurgical care (n = 25â¯265). Main Outcomes and Measures: Multivariable Cox regression analysis estimated time to incident obesity-associated cancer (a composite of 13 cancer types as the primary end point) and cancer-related mortality. Results: The study included 30â¯318 patients (median age, 46 years; median body mass index, 45; 77% female; and 73% White) with a median follow-up of 6.1 years (IQR, 3.8-8.9 years). The mean between-group difference in body weight at 10 years was 24.8 kg (95% CI, 24.6-25.1 kg) or a 19.2% (95% CI, 19.1%-19.4%) greater weight loss in the bariatric surgery group. During follow-up, 96 patients in the bariatric surgery group and 780 patients in the nonsurgical control group had an incident obesity-associated cancer (incidence rate of 3.0 events vs 4.6 events, respectively, per 1000 person-years). The cumulative incidence of the primary end point at 10 years was 2.9% (95% CI, 2.2%-3.6%) in the bariatric surgery group and 4.9% (95% CI, 4.5%-5.3%) in the nonsurgical control group (absolute risk difference, 2.0% [95% CI, 1.2%-2.7%]; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.53-0.87], P = .002). Cancer-related mortality occurred in 21 patients in the bariatric surgery group and 205 patients in the nonsurgical control group (incidence rate of 0.6 events vs 1.2 events, respectively, per 1000 person-years). The cumulative incidence of cancer-related mortality at 10 years was 0.8% (95% CI, 0.4%-1.2%) in the bariatric surgery group and 1.4% (95% CI, 1.1%-1.6%) in the nonsurgical control group (absolute risk difference, 0.6% [95% CI, 0.1%-1.0%]; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.31-0.88], P = .01). Conclusions and Relevance: Among adults with obesity, bariatric surgery compared with no surgery was associated with a significantly lower incidence of obesity-associated cancer and cancer-related mortality.

BACKGROUND: In Ontario, bariatric surgery is publicly funded and is performed only in accredited tertiary care hospitals. The purpose of our study was to report on the safety and outcomes of performing bariatric surgery at an ambulatory site of a tertiary care hospital in southern Ontario. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all adult (age ≥ 18 yr) patients who underwent primary laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at the ambulatory site of our tertiary care hospital between September 2016 and August 2018. The 2 sites are 1.4 km apart. Patient demographic characteristics, duration of surgery, intraoperative and 90-day postoperative complications, number of transfers and readmission to the tertiary care hospital, and emergency department visits were collected. RESULTS: A total of 314 patients (285 women [90.8%] and 29 men [9.2%] with a mean age of 41.8 yr [standard deviation (SD) 8.9 yr]) underwent surgery: LRYGB in 295 cases (93.9%) and LSG in 19 (6.0%). The mean body mass index was 45.3 (SD 5.1), the median American Society of Anesthesiologists score was 3 (range 2-4), and the median Edmonton Obesity Staging System score was 2 (range 0-4). The mean operative time was 119.8 (SD 23.1) minutes for LRYGB and 96.2 (SD 22.0) minutes for LSG, and the mean length of stay was 2.1 (SD 0.6) days and 2.1 (SD 0.2) days, respectively. Thirteen patients (4.1%) required transfer to the tertiary care hospital for a postoperative complication. Of 312 patients, 29 (9.3%) presented to emergency department within 90 days after surgery, and 8 (2.6%) required readmission to hospital; no deaths were reported. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that LRYGB and LSG can be performed safely at an ambulatory site of a tertiary care hospital. However, caution should be exercised in performing these procedures at an ambulatory site without a tertiary care hospital affiliation, as patients may require urgent transfer for a serious postoperative complication.

CONTEXT: The gut-derived peptide hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), oxyntomodulin (OXM), and peptide YY (PYY) are regulators of energy intake and glucose homeostasis and are thought to contribute to the glucose-lowering effects of bariatric surgery. OBJECTIVE: To establish the metabolomic effects of a combined infusion of GLP-1, OXM, and PYY (tripeptide GOP) in comparison to a placebo infusion, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, and a very low-calorie diet (VLCD). DESIGN AND SETTING: Subanalysis of a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of GOP infusion (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01945840), including VLCD and RYGB comparator groups. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS: Twenty-five obese patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes were randomly allocated to receive a 4-week subcutaneous infusion of GOP (n = 14) or 0.9% saline control (n = 11). An additional 22 patients followed a VLCD, and 21 underwent RYGB surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Plasma and urine samples collected at baseline and 4 weeks into each intervention were subjected to cross-platform metabolomic analysis, followed by unsupervised and supervised modeling approaches to identify similarities and differences between the effects of each intervention. RESULTS: Aside from glucose, very few metabolites were affected by GOP, contrasting with major metabolomic changes seen with VLCD and RYGB. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with GOP provides a powerful glucose-lowering effect but does not replicate the broader metabolomic changes seen with VLCD and RYGB. The contribution of these metabolomic changes to the clinical benefits of RYGB remains to be elucidated.
