Severe obesity is associated with decreased quality of life. Therefore, bariatric surgery improves the quality of life. In this regard, there are many tools to assess the quality of life, one of which is the Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System Score (BAROS) containing of self-esteem, physical activity, social activity, work sexual activity, and food items. Most surgeons consider the success rate of bariatric surgery in respect of weight loss and improvement of comorbidities. However, an important factor that should not be forgotten is patients' satisfaction and QOL, which can be assessed with BAROS score. The BAROS score divided into five groups (-3 to -2.1: very poor, -2 t0 -1.1: poor, -1 to 1: fair, 1.1 to 2: good, and 2.1 to 3: very good). Assessing the patient's satisfaction and QOL following bariatric and metabolic surgeries is strongly recommended.","PeriodicalId":341386,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bariatric Surgery","volume":"721 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116129622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) changes in older patients with morbid obesity and its relation with bone metabolism indices. Methods: This study was a single-center cross-sectional study on 50 new morbidly obese patients over 50 years old of age who were candidates for bariatric surgery. Before and 6 months after surgery, the values of BMD, anthropometric indices and metabolic serum biomarkers were assessed. Results: BMD examination before and 6 months after surgery showed decrease in the BMD in hip region from 1.242 ± 0.136 to 1.117 ± 0.112 g/cm2, in the femoral neck from 1.109 ± 0.131 to 0.987 ± 0.127 g/cm2, in the lumbar spine from 1.253 ± 0.146 to 1.190 ± 0.135 g/cm2. The analysis of BMD changes showed significant decrease in the bone density of all site measurement but with variable amounts. The decrement of BMD in the hip and femoral neck was significant but in the spine was not significant. The analysis on bone metabolism markers showed significant increase in 25-Hydroxy vitamin D and Alkaline phosphatase levels but decrease in calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) during 6 month follow up. Conclusion: There is significant decrease in BMD at various skeletal areas including femoral neck and hip region. Such changes can be in line with the changes in some serum metabolic and hormonal biomarkers such as calcium, PTH, vitamin D and alkaline phosphatase.","PeriodicalId":341386,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bariatric Surgery","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132821392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess factors predicting successful weight loss after surgery. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study performed in Firoozgar hospital during 2017-2019. Overall, 128 patients with morbid obesity (103 females and 25 males; BMI range: 36.05 to 58.47 kg/m2) were included. The success of sleeve was defined either as Estimated Weight Loss (EWL) % >= 50% at 6 months or EWL% >= 65% at 12 months after surgery. We had two groups (successful and unsuccessful) at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Results; The mean ± SD of age, height, baseline weight and BMI (Body Mass Index) were 36.25 ± 11.11 year, 166.95 ± 9.65 cm, 119.40 ± 19.30 kg and 42.64 ± 4.03 kg/m2, respectively. Male and female patients were significantly different in reaching enough EWL% at 12 months after surgery (92.9% vs 56% respectively; p=0.012). The significant difference seen in mean ages between the two groups at 6 months (p=0.017) was disappeared at 12 months. In logistic regression analysis, the only independent factor to predict success was gender. Conclusion; The patient’s gender, height, weight or BMI, may have a predictive value to reach to a desirable weight after sleeve gastrectomy. Further investigations with large sample size are necessary to elucidate and predict more detailed findings.","PeriodicalId":341386,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bariatric Surgery","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123046102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is considered the gold standard for obese patients with GERD. RYGB can accelerate gastric emptying and thus improve reflux symptoms. Case presentation: A 56-year-old man weighing 101 kg and 167 cm tall (BMI 36.2) presented to the hospital with major complaints of obesity and mild gastroesophageal reflux disease. He also suffered from comorbidities like DM, HTN, and IHD. 15 years ago he underwent Nissen Fundoplication due to severe GERD. We candidate the patient for LRYGB surgery because of obesity, Mild reflux, and comorbidities such as DM, and HTN. Due to past fundoplication, severe adhesions, and fibrosis at the last operation site, LRYGB without Wrap taken down was done. Discussion: Laparoscopic conversion of Fundoplication to RYGB is a complex technique because of extended operative time, morbidity, and length of hospital stay. RYGBP after fundoplication leads to more complications than other forms of reoperative bariatric surgery; however, it gives a good weight loss that satisfies the patient. Conclusion: LRYGB after previous anti-reflux surgery without wrap takedown is technically safe and brings in reflux symptoms and comorbidities improvement, satisfactory weight loss, and less morbidity.","PeriodicalId":341386,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bariatric Surgery","volume":"35 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121346055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
