The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of bariatric surgery on body composition, serum zinc and serum copper levels in obese patients over a period of 12 months following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This could be important considering that this procedure has been proven to be an effective tool in achieving absolute weight loss and reducing fat tissue in morbidly obese population. Thus, our present results are confirming some important modifications behind the biochemistry of the bariatric surgery and the aforementioned impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on serum zinc or copper and body composition.

Anti-obesity surgery is the most effective therapy available for significant weight loss in patients with morbid obesity. Obesity in consider a major independent risk factor for Hiatal hernia (HH) and it is present in about 37%-50% of morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.1,2,3 It might be overlooked or under looked especially if the patient was asymptomatic and no pre-operative endoscopy or radiological workup. Denovo closure of the hiatal defect in case of an intraoperative finding of HH strongly recommended preventing such acute postoperative complications. Herein we report a rare and acute post laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with gastric herniation were uneventfully diagnosed and interfered early to prevent a catastrophic outcome.

AbstractOur aim in this prospective study was to determine the impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on the quality of life of patients with morbid obesity in comparison with population standards. The study evaluated 76 morbidly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The short version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) was used to evaluate quality of life in the following four areas: physical health, mental health, social relations, and environment. Patients completed the questionnaire before their planned operation and again 3 and 6 months after surgery. Compared with the population standard, patients with morbid obesity had significantly lower quality of life scores in the physical and mental health domains, including on independent questions related to of overall health and quality of life (p<0.001). Women scored lower on indicators of mental health than men. Three and 6 months following surgery a significant trend of body mass index (BMI) reduction was seen, as well as increased quality of life in all indicated areas (p<0.001). Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy treatment in morbidly obese patients reduced BMI on a long-term basis, a change seen as early as 3 months after surgery. By 6 months after surgery, patients had the same quality of life scores as the reference population.

Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a primary treatment of obesity among older adults and its satisfactory outcomes would be the main reason behind the popularity of this procedure. We aim to evaluate the impact of age on excess weight loss in adult morbidly obese subjects older than 60 years old following LSG.Methods: In this retrospective survey, 3,072 subjects were included in the study that underwent LSG in Erfan Hospital. Screening follow-up period was 12 months. The level of statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. We hired comorbid conditions to avoid bias results including hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. Results: Of 3072 patients, 1879 cases were females (61.2%) and 1193 subjects were males (38.8 %). Mean %EBMIL of the group 12 months after surgery was 78.9 %. In younger than 60 years old group, mean %EBMIL 12 months postoperative 83 % and patients  over 60 years demonstrated mean %EBMIL 74.9 %. There was an obvious difference among age groups in presence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension in the older group which was more frequent. Conclusion: To sum up, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is safe procedure for older groups. Albeit, %EBMIL was significantly lower in older group compared to younger subjects, but resolution in comorbidities was satisfactory.
