Subjects in the ESG arm lost 13.6% of body weight and 49.2% of excess body weight at one year, compared to 0.8% total body weight loss and 3.2% excess weight loss in the control arm at the same time point.
Sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure, typically performed laparoscopically, in which approximately 75 - 85% of the stomach is removed, [1] [2] along the greater curvature, [3] which leaves a cylindrical, or "sleeve"-shaped stomach the size of a banana.
The duodenal switch (DS) procedure, also known as a gastric reduction duodenal switch (GRDS), is a weight loss surgery procedure that is composed of a restrictive and a malabsorptive aspect. The restrictive portion of the surgery involves removing approximately 70% of the stomach (along the greater curvature) and most of the duodenum .
After five years, Roux-en-Y resulted in greater weight loss (26% compared to 19% for sleeve gastrectomy) and a 25% lower rate of diabetes relapse. However, Roux-en-Y patients had a higher likelihood of hospitalization and additional abdominal surgeries compared to sleeve gastrectomy. [65]
The SADI-S is a single anastomosis bariatric surgery. It is different from the classic duodenal switch, the gastric bypass (RNY) or sleeve gastrectomy.It is a type of bariatric surgery carried out to lose weight and to mitigate various metabolic issues including type 2 diabetes, dislipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome.
The MGB has been suggested as an alternative to the Roux-en-Y procedure due to the simplicity of its construction and is becoming more and more popular because of low risk of complications and good sustained weight loss. It has been estimated that 15.4% of weight loss surgery in Asia is now performed via the MGB technique. [journal 6]
Often the prior procedure still lends itself to a revision to become a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may be performed laparoscopically, and the average recovery time is approximately two weeks. [8] The weight loss success rate after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass revision surgery is generally excellent. [9]
The Harris–Benedict equation (also called the Harris-Benedict principle) is a method used to estimate an individual's basal metabolic rate (BMR).. The estimated BMR value may be multiplied by a number that corresponds to the individual's activity level; the resulting number is the approximate daily kilocalorie intake to maintain current body weight.
