Abstract Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is prevalent in patients with morbid obesity. After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) chronic abdominal pain is common, however the etiology is largely unknown. We aimed to study the change in the prevalence of IBS-like symptoms 2 years after RYGB and possible preoperative predictors of such symptoms. Secondly, to evaluate changes in symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, and Health related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods Patients with morbid obesity were included at two obesity centers in South-Eastern Norway. IBS was diagnosed according to the Rome III criteria. Predictors were evaluated in a multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results Of 307 participants operated with RYGB, 233 (76%) completed the study questionnaires. Preoperatively 27/233 participants (12%) had IBS, 2 years after RYGB 61/233 (26%) had IBS-like symptoms (p < 0.001). Eleven participants with IBS preoperatively (41%) did not report such symptoms after RYGB. New onset IBS-like symptoms was identified in 45/206 (22%) after RYGB. Fibromyalgia, low LDL levels, high vitamin B1 levels and IBS before RYGB were independent preoperative predictors of IBS-like symptoms at the follow-up visit. Symptom scores for constipation preoperatively and 2 year after RYGB were 1.5 (0.9) and 1.8 (1.2), and for diarrhea 1.4 (0.9) and 1.8 (1.1), respectively (p < 0.001). We observed a significant improvement in the physical component score for all participants. However, participants with new onset IBS-like symptoms had a significant worsening of the mental component score. Conclusions The prevalence of IBS-like symptoms doubled 2 years after RYGB, and these symptoms were associated with reduced HRQoL. Preoperative IBS and fibromyalgia were strong predictors of postoperative IBS-like symptoms.

Background. Revision of failed bariatric procedures is a significant challenge for bariatric surgeons, because of the increasing number of recurring morbid obesity or complications, especially in patients with a previous Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG).Methods. Since November 1998, 109 patients with failed or complicated VBG were followed in a retrospective study. 49 patients underwent re-VBG and, since 2004, 60 underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass-on-Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (RYGB-on-VBG).Results. At 3 years follow-up, mean BMI decreased from 37.4 to 31.2  in the first group, and from 35.0 to 28.4  in the second. Early complications were 7 (14.3%) in the first group and 4 (6.5%) in the second; late complications were 33 (59.1%) and 11 (18.3%), respectively.Conclusion. Although both operations seem to be effective as bariatric revision procedures in terms of BMI, the mid-term outcomes of RYGB-on-VBG demonstrate the lowest rate of complications and better quality of life.

Background and Aims: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is widely used as treatment of morbid obesity. Weight loss, effects on obesity-related co-morbidities and quality of life are well documented post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Other outcome measures are less well studied. This review explores aspects of prevalence, diagnostic evaluations, etiology, and treatment of abdominal pain specific to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Methods: The review is based on PubMed searches and clinical experience with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Symptoms in the early postoperative phase (<30 days) were not included. Results: Based on limited evidence, up to about 30% of the patients may perceive recurrent abdominal pain post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in the long term. A substantial subset of patients will need health-care evaluation for acute abdominal pain and hospital admission. The etiology of abdominal pain is heterogeneous and includes gallstone-related disease, intestinal obstruction, anastomotic ulcerations and strictures, intestinal dysmotility, dysfunctional eating, and food intolerance. Surgical treatment and guidance on diet and eating habits may allow symptom relief. The cause of pain remains undefined for a subset of patients. Impact of abdominal pain post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on the perception of well-being, quality of life, and patient satisfaction with the procedure needs to be further evaluated and may be influenced by complex interactions between new symptoms post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and relief of pre-existing symptoms. Conclusion: Abdominal pain should be part of follow-up consultations post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Future studies should focus on combined evaluations before and after surgery to enlighten potential casual relationships between abdominal pain and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

In order to estimate the quality of life in bariatric surgery patients usually two scales are used: GIQLI (gastrointestinal Quality of life index) and BAROS (Bariatric analysis and reporting outcome system). In our work we used the original estimation of the quality of life, based on the questionnaire GIQLI. This questionnaire consists of two parts: universal and specific. For the estimation of the level of morbid obesity two main scores are utilized: overweight and the Body Mass Index (BMI). We estimated the quality of life of patients with morbid obesity before the operation (25 patients), after gastric banding (25 patients) and gastric bypass (25 patients). For the control group we show the answers for the same questionnaire of 26 volunteers without any chronic diseases, including morbid obesity. Gastric bypass was performed in patients with BMI more than 40 kg/m2, gastric banding was performed in patients with BMI less than 40 kg/m2. The median periods of supervising the patients after gastric bypass and gastric banding were 3±1,9 years and 4,3±1,7 years for each. After the surgery the percentage of reduction of the overweight was significantly higher in the patients after the gastric bypass. It means that the weight loss is more effective after gastric bypass than gastric banding. The index of the quality of life of the patients with the morbid obesity was much lower than in the control group (р0,05). After the surgical treatment all the scores increased in the group of the patients being operated on, than in the group of the patients with obesity before the operations (р0,05). While comparatively estimating the two operations we got practically the same results after gastric bypass and gastric banding. For gastric banding a very important index of the improvement of the quality of life is the level of the weight loss, but after the gastric bypass there were no such outcome.

Abstract Introduction Obesity increases the risk of pelvic floor disorders in individuals with obesity, including faecal incontinence. Faecal incontinence (FI) is a condition with important clinical and psychosocial consequences. Though it is associated with obesity, the effect of bariatric surgery on the prevalence and severity of FI is not well reported. Objective To assess the effect of bariatric surgery on the prevalence and severity of FI in adult patients with obesity. Methods This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Two independent reviewers performed a literature search in MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane and Embase from 1 January 1980 to 12 January 2019. We included published English-language randomized control trials and observational studies assessing pre- and post-bariatric surgery prevalence or severity of FI. Random-effects models with DerSimonian and Laird’s variance estimator were used for meta-analysis. Results Thirteen studies were included, eight assessing prevalence (678 patients) and 11 assessing severity of FI (992 patients). There was no significant difference in prevalence post-operatively overall, though it trended towards a reduction [pooled OR=0.55; =0.075]. There was a significant reduction of FI prevalence in women post-bariatric surgery [95% CI 0.22 to 0.94, p=0.034]. There was a statistically significant reduction in FI prevalence following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and one anastomosis gastric bypass [0.46, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.81; p=0.007]. There was no significant reduction of incontinence episodes post-operatively [pooled mean difference =−0.17, 95% CI −0.90 to 0.56; p=0.65]. Quality of life (QOL) was not significantly improved post-bariatric surgery [mean differences for the following facets of QOL: behaviour −0.35, 95% CI −0.94 to 0.24; depression 0.04, 95% CI −0.12 to 0.2; lifestyle −0.33, 95% CI −0.98 to 0.33; p values of 0.25, 0.61 and 0.33, respectively]. Discussion There was a significant reduction in FI prevalence in women and those who underwent Roux-en-Y or one anastomosis gastric bypass. Our results for FI prevalence overall, FI severity and impact on quality of life were not statistically significant. Larger studies are needed in this under-researched area to determine the true effect of bariatric surgery on FI. Graphical abstract
