LRYGB is associated with an early reduction in BP and antihypertensive medication usage which is maintained at 1 year after surgery. This early impact on blood pressure occurs before any significant weight loss is achieved thereby suggesting a hormonal mechanism that may be involved for the changes observed.

This study demonstrates that the majority of internal hernias occur after a significant (>50%) EBWL. Furthermore, the antecolic approach is associated with a much reduced incidence of internal hernia.
