The Italian Group for LAP-BAND: predictive value of initial body mass index for weight loss after 5 years of follow-up

Abstract: Initial BMI in this series did not correlate with %EWL 5 years after the operation. In fact %EWL was almost the same in each group, independent of preoperative weight. Initial BMI was an accurate indicator of the results obtained 5 years after LAP-BAND in group C (50-59.9 kg/m(2)) and D (=60 kg/m(2)) patients, who remained morbidly obese despite their %EWL.

“…Most authors agree that laparoscopic AGB is less technically demanding and less morbid than laparoscopic RGB [71,189]. However, potential disadvantages of laparoscopic AGB compared with laparoscopic RGB include the ongoing need for band adjustments, delayed or unsatisfactory weight loss [190], and unique indications for reoperation such as pouch dilation, esophageal dilation, band slippage, band erosion, portsite complications, and leaks from the device [185].…”

“…Jos efektyvumas patvirtintas daugelyje studijų, tačiau ne visiems ligoniams pasiekiamas norimas gydymo rezultatas [4][5][6]. Radome tik pavienių studijų, kuriose nagrinėta priešoperacinių veiksnių įtaka prognozuojant kūno masės mažėjimą po SARJO [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Šio darbo tikslas -priešoperacinių veiksnių, leidžiančių prognozuoti perteklinės kūno masės sumažėjimą, paieška.…”
