Does Roux-en-Y gastric bypass improve health status in patients with clinically severe obesity?
Surgical treatment of clinically severe obesity with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass profoundly improves patients' self-reported health status, returning it to or above normal population levels.
Choban et al. (1999) conducted a cohort in Clinically severe obesity. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass vs. Preoperative baseline and national normal population was evaluated on Health status measured by Short Form 36 (SF-36). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass resulted in a mean excess body weight loss of 63% at plateau (>18 months) and significantly improved all areas of health status on the SF-36 compared to preoperative values.
