Why the study?
Poor weight loss response after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy remains a clinical issue, and validated predictors to guide patient selection are lacking.
Are baseline metabolic and psychologic features associated with weight loss 12 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in obese patients?

Baseline features may associate with post-LSG weight loss; leaves open prospective validation of predictors for patient selection.
Are baseline metabolic and psychologic features associated with weight loss 12 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in obese patients?
Baseline metabolic and psychologic features, including age, impulsiveness, urinary free cortisol, and HbA1c, independently predict weight loss 12 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
