Why the study?
The impact of preoperative body mass index on weight loss and co-morbidity improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy required evaluation.
Does preoperative BMI impact weight loss and comorbidity improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with morbid obesity?
Population
173 patients with BMI >40 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Comparison
Impact of preoperative BMI across patient groups
Follow-up
5 years
Key result
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy achieved 87.5% excess weight loss at 5 years, with significantly greater BMI reduction and shorter hospital stays in patients with preoperative BMI <50.

Does preoperative BMI impact weight loss and comorbidity improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with morbid obesity?
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy provides sustained weight loss up to 5 years, with better outcomes observed in patients with a preoperative BMI <50.
Elbanna et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Morbid obesity (n=173). Preoperative BMI <50 vs. Preoperative BMI ≥50 was evaluated on Excess weight loss, BMI reduction, and length of hospital stay. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy achieved 87.5% excess weight loss at 5 years, with significantly greater BMI reduction and shorter hospital stays in patients with preoperative BMI <50.
