Background. Data concerning laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in mild obesity are under investigation.Aim/Objective. May 2010 to May 2012, 122 consecutive patients with preoperative body mass index (BMI) of33±2.5 kg/m2(range 30–34.9) undergoing LSG were studied. Mean age was33±10years (range 15–60), and 105 (86%) were women. Mean preoperative weight was91±9.7 kg (range 66–121), and preoperative excess weight was30±6.7 kg (range 19–43). Comorbidities were detected in 44 (36%) patients.Results. Mean operative time was58±15 min (range 40–95), and postoperative stay was1.8±0.19days (range 1.5–3). There were no admissions to intensive care unit and no deaths within 30 days of surgery. The rates of leaks and strictures were 0%, and of hemorrhage 1.6%. At 12 months, BMI decreased to24.7±2, and the percentage of excess weight loss (% EWL) reached 76.5%. None of the patients had a BMI below 20 kg/m2. Comorbidities resolved in 70.5% or improved in 29.5%. Patient satisfaction scoring (1–5) at least 1 year after was4.6±0.8for body image and4.4±0.6for food tolerance.Conclusion. LSG for mildly obese patients has proved to be technically relatively easy, safe, and benefic in the short term.

Objective Myonectin, a newly discovered myokine, enhances fatty acid uptake in cultured adipocytes and hepatocytes and suppresses circulating levels of free fatty acids in mice. Recent studies showed that serum myonectin concentration is negatively correlated with obesity. This study was undertaken to evaluate the change of serum myonectin in obese patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Methods This study was performed in a population of 42 obese and 58 control subjects from April of 2018 to December of 2019. All obese subjects underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Anthropometric measurements, lipid profiles, HbA1c and serum myonectin were assessed at baseline and six months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Results Serum myonectin concentrations were significantly lower in the obese patients than in the controls. Serum myonectin concentrations were increased at six months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Simple linear regression analysis indicated that serum myonectin was negatively correlated with weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and HbA1c. Only body mass index was still inversely correlated with serum myonectin after multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion Serum myonectin is correlated with obesity and increased after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: Obesity is an increasing problem worldwide regardless of age. Bariatric surgery is highly effective both in the treatment of obesity and in the improvement of obesity-related comorbidities. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is gaining popularity in both adolescents and the elderly.Methods: A total of 64 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, aged under 19 and older 65 between March 2013 and December 2019 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Demographic characteristics were recorded in all patients.Results: Between March 2013 and December 2019, 64 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were enrolled in this study. Fourty-five patients were smaller than 19 years old and 19 patients were older than 65 years old. After 1-year follow-up, there was a significant improvement in glucose, insulin level, excess weight loss and body mass index in both groups (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in insulin levels (p=0.2) and body mass index (p=0.94) between two groups.Conclusions: Careful patient selection after adequate risk versus benefit evaluation by an expert multidisciplinary team is essential. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an effective treatment for obesity and its related comorbidities in both adolescents and adults.

Introduction: There is currently a high prevalence of obesity in the Arabian Gulf yet relatively little research on bariatric surgery. In this study we investigate the efficacy of bariatric surgery in patients with super morbid obesity, defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥ 50 kg/m2 . Methods: All records of bariatric surgery at a single centre were examined. Outcomes measured include Body Mass Index (BMI), percentage Excess Weight Loss (%EWL), Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), Hypertension (HTN) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Statistical relationships between %EWL against age, type of surgery and gender were analysed. Results: 144 patients were found to meet the inclusion criteria. Mean pre-operative BMI was 56.9 ± 6.1 kg/m2 . 90 (62.5%) patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy, 24 (16.7%) had one anastomosis gastric bypass, 16 (11.1%) had biliopancreatic diversion (Scopinaro’s procedure), and 14 (9.7%) had sleeve gastrectomy with transit loop bipartition. 12 months post-operatively, mean BMI was 37.7 ± 7.5 kg/m2 , with a mean %EWL of 62.9% ± 17.9%. There was 100% OSA resolution, 95.3% HTN resolution, and 79.4% T2DM resolution. %EWL was found to decrease slightly with increased age, however no difference in %EWL was found between types of surgery or genders. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery is effective and may be justified in patients with super morbid obesity, including the elderly population. However, there is a great need for larger, longitudinal studies. This would be made possible by hospitals employing more regular and systematic reporting of data, and encouragement of patients to follow up.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most commonly applied procedures for obesity surgery. Leakage from the stapler line and bleeding are the most important complications of sleeve gastrectomy. This study aimed to report the results of esophageal stent procedure applied to cases who developed leaks after sleeve gastrectomy.Methods: This study included patients who had sleeve gastrectomy due to morbid obesity and were detected to have a leak after the procedure. Demographic features, time of leakage after the surgery, and the management of the leak were analyzed.Results: it was detected in this study, 1220 cases who had sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity. Leaks were developed in 10 patients after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). Four patients, followed conservatively without stent application, were excluded. Six patients, treated with stent application, were included. Two of the patients were males, and four were females (M/F=1/2). The mean age was 38.3 (±11.57) (range: 26-58). The mean body mass index was 43.26 (±2.10)kg/m2. The incidence of a leak was 0.81%.Conclusions: In a conclusion, stents can be safely applied by experienced endoscopists for the management of sleeve gastrectomy leakage.
