Abstract
Background: Patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) have been shown to experience significant post-operative weight loss. In Australia, the majority of bariatric surgery is performed within private hospitals as few public facilities offer bariatric services. Consequently, the cost of the operation can be high for patients who are not privately insured. The purpose of the study was to compare excess weight loss (EWL) in insured and uninsured patients 6 months post undergoing LSG.
