Abstract: Morbidly obese patients receiving gastric bypass surgery may need to tailor the bypass limb according to BMI. The application of gastric bypass in lower BMI patients should be more carefully.

“…This “tailoring” has also been performed by other MGB/OAGB surgeons [22, 23, 34]. Although increased malabsorption could theoretically lead to more side effects and malnutrition, only 14 (1.1 %) patients suffered protein malnutrition.…”

“…An alternate and safer approach may be careful inspection of each case to assure not to leave a too-short common channel to the ileocecal valve, as there may be differences in the length of small bowel in different populations, to prevent severe malnutrition. Lee et al reported a tailored bypass limb approach according to BMI [12]. They incorporated different bypass limb lengths according to the patients’ BMI, which affects the excess weight loss percentage and presumably postoperative malnutrition rates.…”

“…Staple-line reinforcement was not performed unless clinically indicated. The length of small bowel bypassed distal to Treitz' ligament was selected according to the BMI and amount of excess weight [33]; most common length was 180 cm. The anastomosis was then performed side-to-side with an endo-GIA.…”
