Weight Loss Outcome After Silastic Ring Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: 8 Years of Follow-up

Abstract

SR-RYGBP was effective in promoting and maintaining weight loss in the long term with a low failure rate.

Changes in Quality of Life After Short and Long Term Follow-Up of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass for Morbid Obesity

“…Some recent studies have reported weight regain in a long-term follow-up of operations in 50% of patients, with therapeutic failure (<50% of excess body weight lost) between 7 and 20% after 8 postoperative years (19,24) . However, only few studies have addressed HRQL in a long-term follow-up when weight regain is manifest.…”

Weight Regain After Gastric Bypass: Influence of Gut Hormones

“…After the nadir of weight loss, which occurs around 18 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with approximately 65 % of excess weight loss (%EWL) [5][6][7], studies have reported that the rate of failure based on weight regain ranges from 5 to 30 %, increasing the longer the followup, particularly among super obese patients [6,[8][9][10][11][12]. Experimental studies indicate weight regain in approximately 25 % [13].…”

Endoscopic findings and outcomes of revisional procedures for patients with weight recidivism after gastric bypass

“…Revision procedures to correct pouch and stoma dilation after RYGB have been performed for decades [19,[22][23][24][25][26]. Despite advances in perioperative care and a paradigm shift to performing most revisional surgeries laparoscopically, these procedures still are fraught with high complication and mortality rates [27].…”
