TL;DR
The results suggest that although the initial weight loss was not significantly different between the 2 groups, the banded patients continued to lose weight for < or = 3 years, and the polypropylene band appeared to be well tolerated.
Abstract
These results suggest that although the initial weight loss was not significantly different between the 2 groups, the banded patients continued to lose weight for < or = 3 years. The polypropylene band appeared to be well tolerated. We plan longer follow-up to confirm the possibility of additional weight loss and the prevention of weight regain in the banded group, as well as to document any long-term band complications.

Surgical treatment of severe obesity appears to be cost-effective by eliminating use of medications and absenteeism from work in patients who were previously morbidly obese, and early weight loss results after banded gastroplasty have been acceptable.

Data show that gastric restriction and biliopancreatic diversion without intestinal exclusion resulted in significantly greater weight loss than conventional RYGB but did not cause additional metabolic sequelae or diarrhea.

Revision of a failed S-GBP to a 150 cm common tract D- GBP corrects failed weight loss and severe obesity comorbidity but requires nutritional support to prevent proteincalorie malnutrition, iron and fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, and further revision in some patients to correct malnutrition.

Major postoperative complications may contribute to RGB failure, RGB revision for early technical failure or inadequate weight loss is associated with a high incidence of major complications and, subsequently, negligible weight loss, and repair of RGB forTechnical failure or complications is not recommended.

In patients with a BMI ≤ 50, there appears to be no advantage to longer limb-lengths, however, these data suggest that longer alimentary limb- lengths may be associated with a higher percent of patients achieving >50% EWL in patients with BMI >50.

Band erosion or migration into the gastric lumen is an uncommon complication of transected banded vertical gastric bypass and is best managed by endoscopic removal but can be treated expectantly or by open surgical intervention.

The super obese patient provides a severe test for operative weight control and it is possible that the 50 per cent reduction of excess weight achieved by VBG among these patients is sufficient to prevent the more serious medical complications from extreme obesity.

Analysis of anthropometric and nutritional parameters between patients with VBG and those converted to RYGBP found no significant differences in nutritional status between both groups except for levels of iron, vitamin B12 and transferrin saturation index, which significantly decreased in converted patients.

The short-term results indicate that revisional operation for morbid obesity using laparoscopic AGB is a safe procedure when performed cautiously and enables early patient mobilization and discharge with good functional results and fewer perioperative complications.
