Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on weight loss and type 2 diabetes mellitus resolution.
  • Assessed weight loss and glycemic outcomes following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  • Analyzed the relationship between diabetes duration, baseline disease severity, and postoperative diabetes resolution.
  • Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass resulted in 60% excess body weight loss and an 83% resolution rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  • Patients with the shortest duration and mildest form of type 2 diabetes achieved higher rates of diabetes resolution postoperatively.

Abstract

LRYGBP resulted in significant weight loss (60% percent of excess body weight loss) and resolution (83%) of T2DM. Patients with the shortest duration and mildest form of T2DM had a higher rate of T2DM resolution after surgery, suggesting that early surgical intervention is warranted to increase the likelihood of rendering patients euglycemic.
