TLDR
The 15-year follow-up data after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) demonstrates a durable weight loss with 47% EWL maintained to 15 years and a systematic review shows substantial and similar long-term weight losses for LAGB and other bariatric procedures.
Abstract
Objective:To describe the long-term outcomes after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and compare these with the published literature on bariatric surgery.Background:Because obesity is a chronic disease, any proposed obesity treatment should be expected to demonstrate long-term durabilit

Long-term follow-up after bariatric surgery: A systematic review

TL;DR: Gastric bypass has better outcomes than gastric band procedures for long-term weight loss, type 2 diabetes control and remission, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, and insufficient evidence exists regarding long- term outcomes for gastric sleeve resections.

Long-Term Outcomes After Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Weight Loss at 10 or More Years for All Bariatric Procedures and a Single-Centre Review of 20-Year Outcomes After Adjustable Gastric Banding

TL;DR: All current procedures are associated with substantial and durable weight loss and reoperation rate was initially high but reduced markedly with improved band and surgical and aftercare techniques.

Who would have thought it? An operation proves to be the most effective therapy for adult-onset diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The gastric bypass operation provides long-term control of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and antidiabetic effects appear to be due primarily to a reduction in caloric intake, suggesting that insulin resistance is a secondary protective effect rather than the initial lesion.
