In Egypt, sleeve gastrectomy and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) are popular bariatric procedures. The current study was conducted to compare between these two procedures regarding short-term weight loss, comorbidity improvement, vitamin and micronutrient changes. This prospective study included 40 cases who were divided into two equal groups; sleeve gastrectomy and OAGB groups. All cases received the standard perioperative care. Our primary outcome was serum nutrient changes (hemoglobin, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B 12), while secondary outcomes included weight loss parameters along with the improvement of obesity related comorbidities. These data were recorded 3, 6, and 12 months after operation, and then compared to the corresponding baseline values. Demographic criteria were comparable between the two groups, apart from diabetes which was more prevalent in the OAGB group. Both groups were followed by a significant and comparable weight loss at the short-term after operation. Both groups were associated with significant improvement in DM and hypertension at 12 months. Most evaluated vitamin and nutrient levels were comparable between the two groups except for hemoglobin, iron and vitamin B 12 levels, which were significantly higher with sleeve gastrectomy at 6-and 12-month follow up. Both sleeve gastrectomy and OAGB are effective bariatric procedures that could achieve satisfactory weight loss and improvement of comorbidities. However, OAGB carries higher risk of iron, hemoglobin and vitamin B 12 deficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
