Abstract
By submitting obese people to surgical treatment, we hope they lose weight and stay slim. Long-term monitoring is essential to assess effectiveness of surgery. This study aims to evaluate weight loss over 10years in an obese population undergoing banded Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (B-RYGBP). The surgery was performed in 211 obese between May 1999 and December 2000. This prospective study evaluated excess weight loss (%EWL) and body mass index (BMI) during the period. We considered surgical treatment failure if %EWL was less than 50%. We followed 54.9% of the population (116 patients). Patients' %EWL was 67.6 ± 14.9% 1year after surgery, 72.6 ± 14.9% after 2years, 69.7 ± 15.1% after 5years, 66.8 ± 7.6% after 8years, and 67.1 ± 11.9% after 10years postoperatively. Surgical treatment failure occurred in 16 patients (14.6%) over 10years. B-RYGBP is a good technique to promote and maintain weight loss 10years after surgery with low failure rate.
