Background: The actual gold standard technique for obesity treatment is the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. However, complications may occur and the surgeon must be prepared for them. Aim: To evaluate retrospectively the complications occurrence and associated factors in patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Methods: In this study, 469 medical charts were considered, from patients and from data collected during outpatient consultations. The variables considered were gender, age, height, pre-operatory BMI, pre-operatory weight, pre-operatory comorbidities, time of hospital stay, postoperative complications that demanded re-admission to the hospital and the time elapsed between the procedure and the complication. The patients' follow up was, at least, one year. Results: The incidence of postoperative complications that demanded a hospital care was 24,09%. The main comorbidity presented in this sample was hepatic steatosis. The comorbidity that was associated with the postoperative period was type 2 diabetes. There was a tendency for the female gender be related to the complications. The cholecystectomy was the most frequent complication. Complications occurred during the first year in 57,35%. Conclusion: The most frequent complication was the need to perform a cholecystectomy, where the most frequent comorbidity was hepatic steatosis. Over half the complications occurred during the first year postoperatively. Type 2 diabetes was associated with the occurrence of postoperative complications; women had the highest incidence; body mass index was not associated with the occurrence of complications.

Abstract Background: There is abundant evidence reporting the relationship between triglycerides levels and type 2 diabetes mellitus, however few studies confirmed the influence of triglycerides levels on the incidence of diabetes. Bariatric surgery may lead to the remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the effect of basal serum triglycerides levels on this reversal is unknown. This study aimed to assess the association between preoperative triglycerides levels and pre- and type 2 diabetes mellitus remission in obese patients one year after bariatric surgery. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among 1959 obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery in our entre. Data on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were used. Pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus remission was defined as normal glycaemic measures at least one year’s duration without pharmacological therapy. Logistic regression models, crude and adjusted for sex, age, preoperative serum triglycerides levels and type of bariatric surgery, were used. Results: The median of preoperative serum triglycerides level was 121.00 (SD=75.00) mg/dL, and 34.7% and 30.0% of patients presented pre- and type 2 diabetes mellitus, respectively, at baseline. Preoperative serum triglycerides levels were higher in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (139.00 vs. 106.00 mg/dL, in normal glycaemic patients; p<0.001) and showed to be significantly correlated with fasting glycaemia, glycated haemoglobin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function. One year after bariatric surgery, 62.5% of patients with pre- or type 2 diabetes at baseline showed remission. Preoperative serum triglycerides levels were negatively associated with this remission (OR: 0.997; 95%CI=0.995–0.998), independently of, sex, age and type of bariatric surgery. Conclusions: One year after bariatric surgery, 62.5% of patients showed pre- or type 2 diabetes mellitus remission, being the preoperative serum triglycerides levels an important clinical parameter for remission.

Background Fetuin-A and leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2 (LECT-2) are liver-derived proteins. Fetuin-A is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obese patients with T2D have higher plasma fetuin-A levels than those without T2D. LECT-2 has positive correlation with the severity of both obesity and insulin resistance. The changes in plasma fetuin-A are not consistent after bariatric surgery and no studies have investigated the changes in LECT-2 on the obese patients with T2D after bariatric surgery. Methods Overall, 18 patients undergoing gastric bypass (GB) and 16 patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were enrolled. The fasting plasma fetuin-A and LECT-2 levels were measured at baseline, one week, three months, and one year after surgery. Results Both the GB and SG groups significantly decreased the body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, a body shape index; the triglyceride, fasting blood sugar (FBS), hemoglobin A1c, C-peptide levels; and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) one year after surgery. The SG group showed a decreasing trend in plasma fetuin-A levels one year after SG surgery. There are no significant changes in LECT-2 one year after either GB or SG. Fetuin-A had a near significant negative relationship with insulin (P = 0.056) and HOMA-IR (P = 0.050) in the SG group. Changes in fetuin-A had a significant positive relationship with changes in BMI (P = 0.031) and waist-to-hip ratio (P = 0.031) in the GB group and had a near significant positive correlation with FBS (P = 0.051) in the SG group. Discussion Neither GB nor SG modifies plasma levels of plasma fetuin-A or LECT-2 in T2D patients after surgery. The changes in plasma fetuin-A have a positive correlation with those of the BMI and waist-to-hip ratio 12 months after GB.

Background The promising postsurgical weight loss and remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) from bariatric surgery can be attributed to modified eating physiology after surgical procedures. We sought to investigate the changes in the parameters of consumption behaviors and appetite sensations induced by a mixed meal tolerance test, and to correlate these alterations with age, body mass index, C-peptide levels, and duration of T2D 1 year after bariatric surgery. Methods A total of 16 obese patients with T2D who underwent mini-gastric bypass (GB) and 16 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were enrolled in this study and evaluated using a mixed meal tolerance test one year after surgery. A visual analogue scale was used for scoring appetite sensation at different time points. The area under the curve (AUC) and the incremental or decremental AUC (ΔAUC) were compared between the two groups. Results One year after surgery, a decreasing trend in the consumption time was observed in the GB group compared to the SG group, while the duration of T2D before surgery was negatively correlated with the post-operative consumed time in those after GB. Patients who underwent GB had significantly higher fasting scores for fullness and desire to eat, higher AUC0′–180′ of scores for desire to eat, as well as more effective post-meal suppression of hunger and desire to eat compared with those undergoing SG one year after surgery. Post-operative C-peptide levels were negatively correlated with ΔAUC0′–180′ for hunger and ΔAUC0′–180′ for desire to eat in the GB group, while negatively correlated with ΔAUC0′–180′ for fullness in the SG group. Discussion Patients with T2D after either GB or SG exhibit distinct nutrient-induced consumption behaviors and appetite sensations post-operatively, which may account for the differential effects on weight loss and glycemic control after different surgery.

Background: Weight reduction is the cornerstone for managing obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery, a concept used worldwide and recently introduced in Bangladesh is effective in achieving significant weight loss, improving and resolving comorbidities.Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study thirty cases in whom bariatric surgery was carried out in the Department of Surgery in BIRDEM General Hospital were purposively sample for analysis.Results: Thirty patients were operated of whom 3 were male and 27 female with the mean age of 40 years. Preoperative mean BMI was 47.1 kg/m2, 83% patients had diabetes, 60% had hypertension. Twenty eight patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, 1 gastric bypass and 1 open near-total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy. Postoperative mean BMI achieved was 34.4 kg/m2. in the first year. Fifty two percent of the diabetic patients are now in good glycemic control with minimum drugs and 48% are in complete resolution.Conclusion: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus can be managed successfully with bariatric surgery.Birdem Med J 2014; 4(2): 70-73
