Abstract
Introduction
The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes between patients undergoing very-very long limb RYGB (VVLL-RYGB) and proximal RYGB (PRYGB) after adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).
Methods
All patients undergoing conversion from LAGB to RYGB in a bariatric reference center between 2010 and 2016 were analyzed.
Results
Sixty-six patients (80 % female, mean age 44.5 ± 9 years, pre-revisional BMI 40.2 ± 7.4 kg/m2) underwent conversion from LAGB to VVLL-RYGB, and 26 patients (88 % female, mean age 46.9 ± 7.6 years, pre-revisional BMI 37.2 ± 5.3 kg/m2) to PRYGB. ΔBMI 5 years after conversion was 8.2 ± 6.1 kg/m2 in VVLL-RYGB compared to 6.7 ± 5.1 kg/m2 in PRYGB (p = 0.35). There was no significant difference in long-term morbidity. Further revisional procedures after VVLL-RYGB occurred in 10 (15.1 %) and 8 (30.8 %) after PRYGB (p = 0.136).
Conclusion
VVLL-RYGB and PRYGB after LAGB are safe and lead to significant and sustainable additional weight loss without difference in BMI loss between the procedures after 5 years.
