First‐year weight loss following gastric band surgery predicts long‐term outcomes

Abstract: Background Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) continues to be a valid surgical treatment option to address severe obesity. However, outcomes are varied and can be difficult to predict. Early prediction of suboptimal weight loss following LAGB may enable adjustments to postoperative care and consequently improve surgical outcomes. Therefore, our aim is to investigate the prognostic utility of using early weight loss following LAGB to predict long‐term weight outcomes. Methods Clinical data from pati… Show more

“…Early identification and intervention for poor responders has been shown to prevent weight gain and augment weight loss after bariatric surgery [ 31 ]. Pre-operative and early postoperative weight loss, however, have not been shown to be good predictors of long-term outcomes [ 29 , 32 ]. Given the variability in long-term weight loss, better strategies are needed to identify the suboptimal responders early in their postoperative course in order to intervene more aggressively and improve the effectiveness of MBS [ 6 , 33 , 34 ].…”
