Journal ArticleDOI

Improvement in glucose metabolism after bariatric surgery : comparison of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy : a prospective randomized trial

TL;DR: Both procedures markedly improved glucose homeostasis: insulin, GLP-1, and PYY levels increased similarly after either procedure, and the results do not support the idea that the proximal small intestine mediates the improvement in glucoseHomeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy vs Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Weight Loss in Patients With Morbid Obesity

TL;DR: Among patients with morbid obesity, there was no significant difference in excess BMI loss between Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at 5 years of follow-up after surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic and Hormonal Changes After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Randomized, Prospective Trial

TL;DR: Bypassing the foregut is not the only mechanism responsible for improved glucose homeostasis, as body weight and BMI decreased markedly and comparably leading to an identical improvement of abnormal glycemic control (HOMA index) in both groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fewer Nutrient Deficiencies After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) than After Laparoscopic Roux-Y-Gastric Bypass (LRYGB)—a Prospective Study

TL;DR: Postoperatively, significantly more vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiencies and hyperparathyroidism were found in patients who had undergone LRYGB, and folate deficiency was more frequent (but not significantly so), while calcium levels were normal in all patients.
