Study Contextual: 15-20 % Of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients need revisional surgery after LSG, because of inadequate weight loss. Aim: The aim of our study is, primarily to analyze the relationship between liquid-phase gastric emptying rate and weight loss, to find a parameter that may be the harbinger of successful weight loss after LSG. Methods: Patient records who have undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were examined retrospectively. 44 Patients were included in the study. Preoperative weight and BMI, postoperative weight loss at first, third, and sixth months, surgical operation reports, preoperative and postoperative liquid-phase gastric emptying study values were mainly collected. Results: The male/ female ratio was 18/82. Mean age 38 (19-60), mean body mass index 48,1(40-66) kg/m² and mean (EWL%) 63,17±13,94 were found. Mean pre and post-operative gastric emptying half times were found to be (T½) 41,86 minute(min), T½ 6,82 min (p<0.0001). Significant correlation was found between patients’ post-operative third and sixth month EWL% and post-operative T½ (p=0,020, p=0,032). Patients who have post-op gastric T½ above 10 min had decreased sixth-month EWL% significantly (p=0.03). Conclusion: Post-operative gastric emptying time (T½) may be a harbinger of weight loss after LSG.

Introduction: Laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) is a relatively new restrictive bariatric procedure that emerged to avoid the problems and to reduce the cost of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In this study we present the initial short-term outcome of LGP and its effect on gastric emptying and compare it with the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods: From May 2016 to April 2017, a total of 50 patients were allocated to undergo either LGP (n = 25) or LSG (n = 25). Data on the operative time, complications, hospital stay, overall cost of LSG and LGCP, body mass index loss (BMIL), post-operative gastric emptying (the first study to asses gastric emptying after LGP), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), and improvement of comorbidities were collected during the follow-up examinations. Results: All procedures were completed laparoscopically. The mean operative time was significantly higher for the LGP group. The mean hospital stay, cost and %EWL were significantly higher in the LSG group. The mean gastric emptying t1/2 was 40 ± 13 minutes for LGP group and 28.3 ± 8.31 minutes for LSG group (P = 0.001). Conclusion: There is significant acceleration of gastric emptying after LSG more than after LGP with significant effect on weight loss.

Abstract Background Obesity has become an increasingly important global health problem. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the most widely performed bariatric surgery. Aim of the Work To evaluate patients who failed to lose weight or regained weight after perfonning sleeve gastrectomy and how to manage them. Patients and Methods This study has been conducted at Ain Shams university hospital (Al Demerdash hospital) Ain Shams University. This is a prospective randomized controlled study (RCT) where 30 patients (20 females and 10 males) attended the outpatient clinic of the bariatric surgery unit complaining of failure of sleeve gastrectomy defined as: (failure to lose 500 0 of excess body weight or regain up to 200 0 of lost excess weight within one year or more from sleeve gastrectomy). Results All three operations have promising outcomes regarding weight loss and comorbidities resolution like diabetes mellitus and hypertension in morbidly obese patients. When compared to RE-LSG, SADI and OAGB have better results regarding weight loss. Conclusion Weight loss failure and revisional surgery remain primary long term concern after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. There are currently no guidelines or systemic reviews directing the standered of practice tör revisional surgery in patients with failed primary sleeve gastrectomy.

Among the bariatric surgery community, it has recently emerged the idea of a possible association between resected gastric volume (RGV) and weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). If the size of the sleeve depends on the bougie caliber, the resected volume of the stomach remains something which is not possible to standardize. The aim of the study was to investigate a possible relationship between RGV and weight loss after LSG. We developed a mathematical method to calculate the RGV, based on the specimen size removed during LSG. Ninety-one patients (63 females and 28 males) affected by morbid obesity were included in the study. They underwent LSG between 2014 and 2016. Mean preoperative BMI was 45±6.4. At 1 year after LSG, the mean BMI was 30±5.3 and the EWL% was 65±20.2. The statistical analysis of RGV, BMI, and EWL% at 1-year follow-up did not find any correlation between the volume of stomach removed and the weight loss after LSG. Further studies in the future should clarify the potential role of RGV during LSG. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03938025.

The effects of weight loss following bariatric surgery on autonomic balance, arrhythmias and insulin resistance are still of interest. We prospectively investigated 50 patients with BMI > 40 kg/m2, aged 36.5 (18–56) years who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Among other examinations, all subjects had 24-h Holter monitoring with heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) evaluation. After a median of 15 months, BMI decreased from 43.9 to 29.7 kg/m2, the incidence of hypertension decreased from 54 to 32% (p = 0.04) and any carbohydrate disorders decreased from 24 to 6% (p = 0.02). Fasting insulin concentration and insulin resistance index improved significantly (p < 0.001). Improvements in HRV parameters related to the sympathetic autonomic division were also observed (p < 0.001), while HRT evaluation was not conclusive. The enhancement of autonomic tone indices was correlated with reduction of BMI (SDNN-I r = 0.281 p = 0.04; SDNN r = 0.267 p = 0.05), but not with reduction of waist circumference, and it was also associated with decrease of mean heart rate (OR 0.02, 95%CI 0.0–0.1, p < 0.001). The incidence of arrhythmias was low and similar before and after follow-up. In conclusion, improvement of homeostasis of carbohydrate metabolism and autonomic function is observed in relatively young patients after weight loss due to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
