Abstract
INTRODUCTION We still lack studies providing analysis of changes in glucose and lipid metabolism after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). We aimed to investigate postoperative changes in glucose and lipid metabolism after LSG in patients with DM2. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective, observational study included patients with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 and ≤ 50 kg/m2, DM2 < 10 years of duration, who were qualified for LSG. Perioperative 14-day continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) began after preoperative clinical assessment and OGTT, then reassessment 1 and 12 months after LSG. Thirty-three patients in mean age of 45 ± 10 years were included in study (23 females). RESULTS EBMIL before LSG was 17 ± 11.7%, after 1 month-36.3 ± 12.8%, while after 12 months-66.1 ± 21.7%. Fifty-two percent of the patients had DM2 remission after 12 months. None required then insulin therapy. 16/33 patients initially on oral antidiabetics still required them after 12 months. Significant decrease in HbA1C was observed: 5.96 ± 0.73%; 5.71 ± 0.80; 5.54 ± 0.52%. Same with HOMA-IR: 5.34 ± 2.84; 4.62 ± 3.78; 3.20 ± 1.99. In OGTT, lower increase in blood glucose with lesser insulin concentrations needed to recover glucose homeostasis was observed during follow-ups. Overtime perioperative average glucose concentration in CGM of 5.03 ± 1.09 mmol/L significantly differed after 12 months, 4.60 ± 0.53 (p = 0.042). Significantly higher percentage of glucose concentrations above targeted compartment (3.9-6.7 mmol/L) was observed in perioperative period (7% ± 4%), than in follow-up (4 ± 6% and 2 ± 1%). HDL significantly rose, while triglyceride levels significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS Significant improvement in glucose and lipid metabolism was observed 12 months after LSG and changes began 1 month after procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Data on the effect of dietary fat on dumping syndrome (DS) symptoms are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the addition of fat to a carbohydrate meal on the appearance of DS symptoms and glycemic response, in patients who had undergone gastric surgery. SUBJECTS/METHODS This was an interventional crossover study. Patients scheduled for gastric surgical procedures related to DS at two surgical units of two public hospitals (General University Hospital of Larissa and General Hospital of Larissa) were considered for study inclusion. Patients presenting symptoms suggestive of diagnosis (n = 12), after the ingestion of a carbohydrate meal, were used as both intervention and control groups. During the intervention process, a fat supplement was added to the carbohydrate meal that was previously used for diagnosis. Glycemic response and the amount and intensity of DS symptoms provoked by the two meals were assessed at both appointments. RESULTS Blood glucose levels were significantly lower in the group that consumed the added fat meal compared with the group that consumed the carbohydrate meal 60 minutes after ingestion (p = 0.028). Furthermore, a significant reduction was noted in the amount of late dumping symptoms (p = 0.021) and the intensity of both early and late dumping symptoms (p = 0.007 and p = 0.012 respectively), after fat addition. Conclusions: Incorporating fat into a carbohydrate meal seems to attenuate postprandial blood glucose rises and reduce the amount and intensity of DS symptoms, in patients who had undergone gastric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dumping syndrome (DS) is a shared but underappreciated complication after metabolic-bariatric surgery. The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence and intensity of symptoms suggestive of DS and their relationship with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHOD A retrospective cohort study was performed for all patients with a history of sleeve gastrectomy between July 2017 and July 2022 in our center. Basial clinic statistics were gathered from electronic medical database, the prevalence and severity of DS were assessed by Dumping Symptom Rating Scale (DSRS), and HRQOL is collected through the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36). RESULT In total, 133 of 202 patients completed the questionnaire (response rate 65.8%). A total of 64.7% (N = 86) of participants were female, aged 34.0 (IQR 26.0-39.0) years at completion of the questionnaire, with a mean body mass index of 35.8 (IQR 31.4-40.5) kg/m2. The prevalence of symptoms suggestive of DS was 45.9% (N = 61), and the associated protective factor was the time between surgery and study. Compared with the patients without DS, patients with DS scored significantly worse on four of eight SF-36 subdomains. CONCLUSION Symptoms suggestive of early dumping syndrome after sleeve gastrectomy are common and are associated with a worse health-related quality of life, which deserves clinical attention. Additional counselling, education, and care are needed to mitigate the decline in quality of life caused by dumping symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Symptomatic postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a known complication that can occur a few years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). There is currently no established rating scale for PBH-associated symptoms developed for use in Swedish populations. The aim of the study was to translate an already existing questionnaire into Swedish and to test its reliability. METHODS The study included forward and backward translations of the original Dumping Severity Scale (DSS) questionnaire with 8 items regarding symptoms of early dumping and 6 items regarding hypoglycemia, with each item graded on a 4-point Likert scale. The reliability of the Swedish translated questionnaire (DSS-Swe) was estimated using internal consistency and test-retest methods. RESULTS A total of 200 patients were included in the study. Good internal consistency was demonstrated regarding the items related to early dumping symptoms, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.82, and very good agreement in terms of test-retest reliability, with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.91 (95% CI 0.88-0.93). The items related to hypoglycemia yielded a good Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.76 and an ICC of 0.89 (95% CI 0.85-0.91). CONCLUSION The DSS-Swe questionnaire shows good reliability regarding both internal consistency and test-retest performance for use in Swedish populations.

Abstract
Background Dumping syndrome is a frequent and wellknown adverse event after bariatric surgery and covers a dynamic spectrum of early and late dumping. Accelerated gastric emptying is generally considered to be the cause of gastrointestinal and vasomotor complaints. However, there is much uncertainty regarding the exact pathophysiology of dumping. It has been speculated that the syndrome is a desired consequence of bariatric surgery and contributes to more efficient weight loss, but supporting data are scarce. Methods A systematic search was conducted in PubMed in July-August 2021. The prevalence of dumping after the most frequently performed bariatric procedures was analyzed, as well as underlying pathophysiology and its role in weight reduction. Results Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with the highest postoperative prevalence of dumping. The fast transit induces neurohumoral changes which contribute to an imbalance between postprandial glucose and insulin levels, resulting in hypoglycemia which is the hallmark of late dumping. Early dumping can, when received in a positive way, become a tool to maintain a strict dietary pattern, but no significant relationship to the degree of weight loss has been shown. However, late dumping is detrimental and promotes overall higher caloric intake. Conclusion Dumping syndrome is common after bariatric surgery, especially after RYGB. The pathophysiology is complex and ambiguous. Currently available data do not support dumping as a necessary condition to induce weight loss after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
A 44-year-old female patient presented with weight loss, diarrhea and intermittent episodes of left upper quadrant (LUQ) pain lasting for 3 years, accompanied by acute episodes of focal LUQ pain, dizziness, tachycardia, borborygmi and bloating, occurring approximately 60 min after meals. The patient developed chronic acalculous cholecystitis and transient exocrine pancreatic insufficiency after infection with Coxsackievirus B4 (CVB4), which resolved following laparoscopic cholecystectomy 2 years before the current presentation. Although imaging and functional investigation studies were unremarkable, a gastric transit study revealed rapid clearance of radiolabeled food, and the patient's symptomatology and gastrointestinal studies supported the diagnosis of late dumping syndrome. The patient's symptoms significantly improved with adherence to recommended dietary changes, including an increase in protein intake, abstinence from simple carbohydrates and avoidance of simultaneous consumption of beverages with food, following consultation with a dietitian.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) is an effective weight loss procedure. The gastro-jejunal (GJ) anastomosis required can be performed on the anterior or posterior gastric pouch wall. No studies have compared these variants in terms of efficacy and onset of dumping syndrome (DS) and weight regain (WR). We aimed at assessing the prevalence of DS in relation to the site of anastomosis together with identifying prognostic factors of DS and WR. METHODS Patients who had undergone LRYGB with anterior (AGJ) or posterior (PGJ) anastomosis in 2010-2019 were retrospectively analyzed. We collected demographic data, medical history and the prevalence of DS evaluated through the Sigstad Score, together with WR data. RESULTS 213 patients were enrolled, of which 51.6% had an AGJ and 48.4% had a PGJ. The mean follow-up time was 81 ± 18 and 27 ± 13 months in the AGJ and PGJ group, respectively (p < 0.0001). Excess weight loss was 77.59% and 94.13% in patients with AGJ and PGJ, respectively (p < 0.001). WR rate was 16% and 4% in the AGJ and PGJ population, respectively (p < 0.001). DS prevalence was 38% and 76% in the AGJ and the PGJ population, respectively (p < 0.0001). The site of anastomosis was identified as an independent predictor of DS (OR5.15; 95% CI 2.82-9.41; p < 0.0001) and WR (OR5.31; 95% CI 2.32-12.15; p < 0.0001). Obesity-related complications significantly improved after surgery independent of the anastomosis site. CONCLUSION LRYGB is effective in determining long-term weight loss and improvement of complications. AGJ is associated with lower prevalence of DS but more frequent WR. The anastomosis site is a factor to be considered when performing LRYGB. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery (BS) is today the most effective therapy for inducing long-term weight loss and for reducing comorbidity burden and mortality in patients with severe obesity. On the other hand, BS may be associated to new clinical problems, complications and side effects, in particular in the nutritional domain. Therefore, the nutritional management of the bariatric patients requires specific nutritional skills. In this paper, a brief overview of the nutritional management of the bariatric patients will be provided from pre-operative to post-operative phase. Patients with severe obesity often display micronutrient deficiencies when compared to normal weight controls. Therefore, nutritional status should be checked in every patient and correction of deficiencies attempted before surgery. At present, evidences from randomized and retrospective studies do not support the hypothesis that pre-operative weight loss could improve weight loss after BS surgery, and the insurance-mandated policy of a preoperative weight loss as a pre-requisite for admission to surgery is not supported by medical evidence. On the contrary, some studies suggest that a modest weight loss of 5-10% in the immediate preoperative period could facilitate surgery and reduce the risk of complications. Very low calories diet (VLCD) and very low calories ketogenic diets (VLCKD) are the most frequently used methods for the induction of a pre-operative weight loss today. After surgery, nutritional counselling is recommended in order to facilitate the adaptation of the eating habits to the new gastro-intestinal physiology. Nutritional deficits may arise according to the type of bariatric procedure and they should be prevented, diagnosed and eventually treated. Finally, specific nutritional problems, like dumping syndrome and reactive hypoglycaemia, can occur and should be managed largely by nutritional manipulation. In conclusion, the nutritional management of the bariatric patients requires specific nutritional skills and the intervention of experienced nutritionists and dieticians.

Abstract
Dumping syndrome is a common but underdiagnosed complication of gastric and oesophageal surgery. We initiated a Delphi consensus process with international multidisciplinary experts. We defined the scope, proposed statements and searched electronic databases to survey the literature. Eighteen experts participated in the literature summary and voting process evaluating 62 statements. We evaluated the quality of evidence using grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE) criteria. Consensus (defined as >80% agreement) was reached for 33 of 62 statements, including the definition and symptom profile of dumping syndrome and its effect on quality of life. The panel agreed on the pathophysiological relevance of rapid passage of nutrients to the small bowel, on the role of decreased gastric volume capacity and release of glucagon-like peptide 1. Symptom recognition is crucial, and the modified oral glucose tolerance test, but not gastric emptying testing, is useful for diagnosis. An increase in haematocrit >3% or in pulse rate >10 bpm 30 min after the start of the glucose intake are diagnostic of early dumping syndrome, and a nadir hypoglycaemia level <50 mg/dl is diagnostic of late dumping syndrome. Dietary adjustment is the agreed first treatment step; acarbose is effective for late dumping syndrome symptoms and somatostatin analogues are preferred for patients who do not respond to diet adjustments and acarbose.

Abstract
Dumping syndrome has long been associated with gastric surgery. The authors experienced an adult patient presenting with dumping syndrome after meningitis without any previous surgical procedures on the stomach and small bowel. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system after infective meningitis may originate from postinfectious sequelae or an immunologic mechanism. A comprehensive study and proper management of autonomic symptoms of patients with a central nervous system infection are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dumping syndrome is a well-known side effect of laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB), and it is commonly believed that dumping syndrome is less likely to occur after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), due to the preservation of the pyloric sphincter. However, it is not uncommon for patients undergoing LSG at our center to report symptoms suggestive of dumping syndrome. OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of symptoms of dumping syndrome after LSG compared with LRYGB. SETTING A single surgical group at a high-volume (700 cases per year) Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Center of Excellence. METHODS One thousand four hundred seventy-one LRYGB (366) and LSG (1105) patients received a questionnaire to assess symptoms of dumping syndrome, utilizing a modified version of the Sigstad scoring system. Dumping syndrome was considered to be present when the questionnaire score exceeded a threshold value. RESULTS A total of 360 responses were received (249 LSG, 111 LRYGB). 26.5% (66) LSG and 41.4% (46) LRYGB exceeded the threshold for dumping syndrome (p < 0.01). 84.8% (56) LSG and 84.7% (39) LRYGB reported early dumping syndrome (p > 0.05). Thirty-six percent (24) LSG and 28% (13) LRYGB reported late dumping syndrome (p > 0.05). Twenty-seven percent (62) LSG and 44.4% (44) LRYGB reported at least one symptom of dumping syndrome with sweets (p < 0.05). 34.3% (85) LSG and 35.5% (39) LRYGB reported symptoms when drinking with or within 30 min of a meal (p > 0.05). 14.5% (36) LSG and 17.3% (19) LRYGB reported symptoms after alcohol consumption (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Dumping syndrome after LSG is prevalent but has not been widely reported. This finding may impact clinicians and patients in their choice of procedure and has relevance in post-operative education and care.

Abstract
Background: Dumping syndrome is a common complication of surgical treatment of gastric cancer, but conventional therapy has limitations related to symptom care due to its structural cause and the decreased quality of life. Objectives: The objective of this review was to assess the clinical evidence for the effectiveness of herbal medicine as a treatment for dumping syndrome. Methods: A literature review was conducted using 16 databases from their inceptions to March 2018. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of herbal medicine used to treat dumping syndrome patients were included and meta-analyzed. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Results: A total of 174 dumping syndrome patients of 3 trials met all inclusion criteria. Two trials assessed the effectiveness of herbal medicine on the symptom response rate compared with conventional pharmacotherapy. Their results suggested significant effects in favor of herbal medicine (risk ratio [RR] = 1.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16-1.63, P = .0003, heterogeneity τ2 = 0, χ2 = 0.02, P = .88, I2 = 0%). One trial assessed its effectiveness on the improvement rate of overall symptoms compared with conventional conservative complex therapy, such as postural management, diet regulation, and counseling (RR = 1.23, 95% CI = 0.96-1.58). Conclusions: Due to the small sample size, scarcity of reported articles, and lack of quality of the current RCTs, it was concluded that the effectiveness of herbal medicine in treating dumping syndrome is unclear.

Abstract
Eating is a basic human physiological need which is necessary to keep the body alive. Eating disorders are diagnosed when eating (or not eating) and associated body weight gain anxiety become the main interest of an individual and all other spheres of life depend on it. Bulimia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder which is more and more commonly diagnosed in patients suffering from obesity and in patients after surgical treatment of obesity. In patients eligible for bariatric surgery this disorder should be diagnosed appropriately early and treated successfully before the procedure, because bulimia nervosa does not regress spontaneously. When untreated, it may last for years, reducing the efficacy of a surgical treatment of obesity, or even lead to complications that are health- and life-threatening for patients.

Abstract
Gastroparesis and dumping syndrome both evolve from a disturbed gastric emptying mechanism. Although gastroparesis results from delayed gastric emptying and dumping syndrome from accelerated emptying of the stomach, the two entities share several similarities among which are an underestimated prevalence, considerable impairment of quality of life, the need for a multidisciplinary team setting, and a step-up treatment approach. In the following review, we will present an overview of the most important clinical aspects of gastroparesis and dumping syndrome including epidemiology, pathophysiology, presentation, and diagnostics. Finally, we highlight promising therapeutic options that might be available in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The frequency of postprandial hypoglycaemia after different operative procedures of bariatric surgery (BS) is unknown, although this complication is potentially dangerous. Predictors and severity of hypoglycaemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric banding were investigated in a large prospective study. METHODS This study was performed at an excellence centre for BS at a tertiary care institution. Data of 333 patients (mean BMI: 44.9 ± 9.6 kg/m2; mean age: 40 ± 10 years; 80.7% women) were analysed in a prospective study with a 2-year observation period after BS. All patients underwent a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with measurements of blood glucose (BG) and insulin. For the purpose of this study, hypoglycaemia was defined as a post-challenge BG <2.8 mmol/L during the OGTT. RESULTS 72 (25.6%) of 281 patients showed post-challenge hypoglycaemia after surgery. Hypoglycaemia was different after various procedures: 32.6% of patients after RYGB, 22.6% after sleeve gastrectomy, but only 2.3% after gastric banding had hypoglycaemia. In the whole group, patients with hypoglycaemia had lost more weight (p = 0.013), had a slightly greater decrease in BMI (p = 0.037), a greater change in 2-hour post-challenge BG (p = 0.001), and a smaller change in 1-hour post-challenge insulin (p = 0.004) compared to patients without hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSION This prospective study shows a higher prevalence of severe hypoglycaemia (25.6%) after BS than anticipated from retrospective registers. A systematic evaluation of glucose and insulin levels by OGTT 2 years post-surgery may help to identify patients at increased risk for symptomatic and asymptomatic hypoglycaemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early dumping is a poorly defined and incompletely understood complication after Roux-en-Y gastric (RYGB). OBJECTIVE We performed a mixed-meal tolerance test in patients after RYGB to address the prevalence of early dumping and to gain further insight into its pathophysiology. SETTING The study was conducted in a regional hospital in the northern part of the Netherlands. METHODS From a random sample of patients who underwent primary RYGB between 2008 and 2011, 46 patients completed the mixed-meal tolerance test. The dumping severity score for early dumping was assessed every 30 minutes. A sum score at 30 or 60 minutes of ≥5 and an incremental score of ≥3 points were defined as indicating a high suspicion of early dumping. Blood samples were collected at baseline, every 10 minutes during the first half hour, and at 60 minutes after the start. RESULTS The prevalence of a high suspicion of early dumping was 26%. No differences were seen for absolute hematocrit value, inactive glucagon-like peptide-1, and vasoactive intestinal peptide between patients with or without early dumping. Patients at high suspicion of early dumping had higher levels of active glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY. CONCLUSION The prevalence of complaints at high suspicion of early dumping in a random population of patients after RYGB is 26% in response to a mixed-meal tolerance test. Postprandial increases in both glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY are associated with symptoms of early dumping, suggesting gut L-cell overactivity in this syndrome.

Abstract
CONTEXT We compared the incidence of hypoglycemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) vs sleeve gastrectomy (SG). DESIGN, SETTING, AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Randomized, open-label trial conducted at the outpatient obesity clinic in a university hospital in Rome, Italy. The primary aim was the incidence of reactive hypoglycemia (<3.1 mmol/L after 75-g oral glucose load) at 1 year after surgery. Secondary aims were hypoglycemia under everyday life conditions, insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and lipid profile. RESULTS Of 175 eligible patients, 120 were randomized 1:1 to RYGB or SG; 117 (93%) completed the 12-month follow-up. Reactive hypoglycemia was detected in 14% and 29% of SG and RYGB patients (P = 0.079), respectively, with the effect of treatment in multivariate analysis significant at P = 0.018. Daily hypoglycemic episodes during continuous glucose monitoring did not differ between groups (P = 0.75). Four of 59 RYGB subjects (6.8%) had 1 to 3 hospitalizations for symptomatic hypoglycemia vs 0 in SG. The static β-cell glucose sensitivity index increased after both treatments (P < 0.001), but the dynamic β-cell glucose sensitivity index increased significantly in SG (P = 0.008) and decreased in RYGB (P = 0.004 for time × treatment interaction). Whole-body insulin sensitivity increased about 10-fold in both groups. CONCLUSIONS We show that reactive hypoglycemia is no less common after SG and is not a safer option than RYGB, but RYGB is associated with more severe hypoglycemic episodes. This is likely due to the lack of improvement of β-cell sensitivity to changes in circulating glucose after RYGB, which determines an inappropriately high insulin secretion.

Abstract
Background: Obesity is a global health epidemic and is associated with many maternal and neonatal complications. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is among the surgical treatments for obesity. The appropriate timing of pregnancy following LSG remains controversial and few studies have evaluated this public health issue. Objective: To evaluate the effect of pregnancy timing after LSG on maternal and perinatal outcomes. Study design: We performed a retrospective observational study of 23 pregnant women who underwent LSG at a tertiary hospital in Turkey. Women who became pregnant within 18 months of undergoing LSG were included in the early pregnancy after LSG group, and those who became pregnant after 18 months were included the late pregnancy after LSG group. Maternal and perinatal outcomes were evaluated, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pregnancy-associated hypertensive disorders, preterm birth, mode of delivery, small and large for gestational age births (small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA)), birth injury, and congenital malformations. Results: Body mass index (BMI) at conception was higher in the early pregnancy after LSG group than in the late pregnancy after LSG group (30.48 versus 27.25, respectively; p = .03). Pregnancy interval after LSG did not impact maternal-fetal complications or mode of delivery. After a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for GDM, 75% (n = 6) of the early pregnancy group presented with early dumping syndrome, compared to only 13.3% (n = 2) of the late pregnancy after LSG group (p = .009). Conclusions: LSG may reduce obesity-related gestational complications, such as GDM and LGA. The interval between LSG and conception did not impact maternal or neonatal outcomes. Screening for GDM can result in dumping syndrome in pregnancies after LSG.

Impact of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Gastrointestinal Motility. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2018; 2018:4135813. [PMID: 29849586 PMCID: PMC5907392 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4135813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2017] [Accepted: 03/04/2018] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was considered mainly as a restrictive procedure due to anatomic alterations in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, due to neurohormonal alterations, LSG modifies the gastrointestinal motility, which controls appetite and feeling of satiety. Aim The aim of the study was to review the impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on gastrointestinal motility. Material and Methods A search of the medical literature was undertaken in Pubmed, Web of Science, and Cochrane library. Esophageal, gastric, bowel motility were assessed separately. Results Nine studies assessed esophageal motility. The data remain debatable attributing to the heterogeneity of follow-up timing, surgical technique, bougie size, and distance from pylorus. The stomach motility was assessed in eighteen studies. Functionally, the sleeve was divided into a passive sleeve and an accelerated antrum. All scintigraphic studies revealed accelerated gastric emptying after LSG except of one. Patients demonstrated a rapid gastroduodenal transit time. The resection of the gastric pacemaker had as a consequence aberrant distal ectopic pacemaking or bioelectrical quiescence after LSG. The bowel motility was the least studied. Small bowel transit time was reduced; opposite to that the initiation of cecal filling and the ileocecal valve transit was delayed. Conclusion Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has impacts on gastrointestinal motility. The data remain debatable for esophageal motility. Stomach and small bowel motility were accelerated, while the initiation of cecal filling and the ileocecal valve transit was delayed. Further pathophysiological studies are needed to evaluate the correlation of motility data with clinical symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoglycaemia after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) can occur in up to 33 % of subjects after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The underlying pathophysiology is not well understood. We aimed to compare the anthropometric and metabolic characteristics of subjects with post-OGTT hypoglycaemia (HYPO) to subjects with post-OGTT euglycaemia (EU) 6 months after LSG. METHODS Eighteen morbidly obese patients with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were evaluated with an OGTT before and 6 months after LSG. Serum glucose and insulin were measured before and every 30 min after glucose ingestion up to 120'. The patients were categorized as HYPO or EU based on lowest glucose levels 90' to 120' post-OGTT 6 months after LSG (hypoglycaemia defined as glucose levels <60 mg/dl). OGTT derived indices of insulin secretion; insulin sensitivity and beta cell function were also evaluated. RESULTS Eight patients (44.4 %) were categorized as HYPO. Preoperatively, subjects with HYPO had lower BMI (p = 0.02) compared to that with EU. Postoperatively, subjects with HYPO had lower BMI (p = 0.01), lower weight (p = 0.01), and higher percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) (p = 0.03) compared to that with EU. The beta cell function index was higher in the HYPO group postoperatively compared to EU (p = 0.02)-especially during the latter portion of the OGTT. No difference was detected in insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity indices between the two groups preoperatively or postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Subjects with NGT who developed HYPO 6 months after LSG are leaner, with higher TWL% and higher beta cell function at the latter portion of the OGTT compared to those with EU.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective treatment for morbid obesity and its associated metabolic complications. To ensure long-term postoperative success, patients must be prepared to adopt comprehensive lifestyle changes. This review summarizes the current evidence and expert opinions with regard to nutritional care in the perioperative and long-term postoperative periods. A literature search was performed with the use of different lines of searches for narrative reviews. Nutritional recommendations are divided into 3 main sections: 1) presurgery nutritional evaluation and presurgery diet and supplementation; 2) postsurgery diet progression, eating-related behaviors, and nutritional therapy for common gastrointestinal symptoms; and 3) recommendations for lifelong supplementation and advice for nutritional follow-up. We recognize the need for uniform, evidence-based nutritional guidelines for bariatric patients and summarize recommendations with the aim of optimizing long-term success and preventing complications.

Abstract
Hypoglycemia is increasingly recognized as a complication of bariatric surgery. Although medications are often required, medical nutrition therapy remains the key cornerstone for successful prevention of hypoglycemia in patients with post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). We provide suggested approaches to the dietary management of PBH, incorporating data from both the medical literature and extensive clinical experience in an academic referral center for PBH. The overall goal of medical nutrition therapy for PBH is to reduce postprandial surges in glucose, which often trigger surges in insulin secretion and promote subsequent hypoglycemia. Thus, strategies focus on controlled portions of low glycemic index carbohydrates, avoidance of rapidly-absorbed carbohydrates, adjustment of timing of meals and snacks, and attention to personal and cultural barriers to implementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dumping syndrome, a common complication of esophageal, gastric or bariatric surgery, includes early and late dumping symptoms. Early dumping occurs within 1 h after eating, when rapid emptying of food into the small intestine triggers rapid fluid shifts into the intestinal lumen and release of gastrointestinal hormones, resulting in gastrointestinal and vasomotor symptoms. Late dumping occurs 1-3 h after carbohydrate ingestion, caused by an incretin-driven hyperinsulinemic response resulting in hypoglycemia. Clinical recommendations are needed for the diagnosis and management of dumping syndrome. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed through February 2016. Evidence-based medicine was used to develop diagnostic and management strategies for dumping syndrome. RESULTS Dumping syndrome should be suspected based on concurrent presentation of multiple suggestive symptoms after upper abdominal surgery. Suspected dumping syndrome can be confirmed using symptom-based questionnaires, glycemia measurements and oral glucose tolerance tests. First-line management of dumping syndrome involves dietary modification, as well as acarbose treatment for persistent hypoglycemia. If these approaches are unsuccessful, somatostatin analogues should be considered in patients with dumping syndrome and impaired quality of life. Surgical re-intervention or continuous enteral feeding may be necessary for treatment-refractory dumping syndrome, but outcomes are variable. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of these diagnostic and treatment recommendations may improve dumping syndrome management.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is a highly effective treatment for severe obesity, resulting in substantial weight loss and normalizing obesity-related comorbidities. However, long-term consequences can occur, such as postbariatric surgery hypoglycaemia. This is a challenging medical problem, and the number of patients presenting with it has been increasing. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most popular bariatric procedure, and it is the surgery most commonly associated with the development of postbariatric surgery hypoglycaemia. To date, the pathogenesis of this condition has not been completely established. However, various factors - particularly increased postprandial glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 secretion - have been considered as crucial mediator. The mechanisms responsible for diabetic remission after bariatric surgery may be responsible for the development of hypoglycaemia, which typically occurs 1-3 h after a meal and is concurrent with inappropriate hyperinsulinaemia. Carbohydrate-rich foods usually provoke hypoglycaemic symptoms, which can typically be alleviated by strict dietary modifications, including carbohydrate restriction and avoidance of high glycaemic index foods and simple sugars. Few patients require further medical intervention, such as medications, but some patients have required a pancreatectomy. Because this option is not always successful, it is no longer routinely recommended. Clinical trials are needed to further determine the pathophysiology of this condition as well as the best diagnostic and treatment approaches for these patients.

Abstract
Background. Bariatric surgery is an important field of surgery. An important complication of bariatric surgery is dumping syndrome (DS). Aims. To evaluate the incidence of DS in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods. 541 patients included from 5 nutrition and bariatric centers in France underwent either LSG or LRYGB. They were evaluated at 1 month (M1) and 6 months (M6) postoperatively by an interview and completion of a dumping syndrome questionnaire. Results. 268 patients underwent LSG (Group A) and 273 underwent LRYGB. From the LRYGB patients 229 had mechanical gastrojejunoanal anastomosis with 30 mm linear stapler (Group B) and 44 had manual (hand sewn) 15 mm gastrojejunal anastomosis (Group C). Overall incidence of DS was 8.5% at M1 and M6. In LSG group (Group A), only 4 patients (1.49%) reported episodes of DS at M1 and 3 (1.12%) at M6. In Group B, 41 patients (17.90%) reported episodes of DS at M1 and 43 (18.78%) at M6. Group C experienced one case (2.27%) of DS at M1 and none (0%) at M6. Conclusions. Patients undergoing LRYGB, especially with larger gastrojejunal anastomosis, are more prone to developing DS following surgery than patients undergoing LSG or LRYGB with calibrated manual anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is commonly believed that eating habits, specially the sweet eating habit, can predict results after bariatric surgery; for this reason, it is considered one of the selection criteria when deciding the surgical technique. However, there is not enough evidence of its impact on the results after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between the sweet eating habit and weight loss after SG. DESIGN Cross-sectional retrospective study. MATERIAL AND METHODS Group A: nonobese subjects, and group B: patients who underwent SG and had ≥6 months follow-up. Demographics, anthropometrics, percentage excess weight loss (%EWL) at 6, 12, and 24 months, and eating habits before surgery were analyzed. Sweet eating consumption was classified as follows: mild, moderate, and severe. Uni- and bivariate logistic regression analysis according to each variable was performed. RESULTS Between 2006 and 2011, 157 patients underwent SG at our institution; 36% were male, age 41 years old, and initial body mass index 46 kg/m(2). Mean %EWL at 6, 12, and 24 months was 66%, 77%, and 70%, respectively. Sweet eating consumption: Mild: 59%; Moderate: 38%; and Severe: 3%. No difference was found in sweet eating patterns among groups A and B; %EWL for mild, moderate, and severe sweet eaters at 6 months was 66 ± 16, 66 ± 14, and 65 ± 10, respectively (P = non-significant [NS]). The same analysis was made at 12 months: 76 ± 20, 79 ± 18, and 78 ± 11 (P = NS). At 24 months, only mild and moderate sweet eaters were available for comparison: 69 ± 23 and 73 ± 19, respectively (P = NS). CONCLUSION Preliminary data suggested that preoperative sweet eating habit would not predict results after SG in terms of weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of antral resection on weight loss and complications after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHODS This was a retrospective study of the prospectively collected data of patients who underwent LSG at Jordan University Hospital from February 2011 to February 2012. Patients were divided into two groups based on antral resection: group A underwent a 6-cm antral resection, and group B underwent a 2-cm antral resection. The percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was calculated at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. RESULTS One hundred and ten patients were included in the study, all of whom completed at least 24 months of follow-up (mean follow-up, 33 months). Their mean body mass index was 46.1 ± 7.9 kg/m(2). In group A, the mean %EWL was 38.1 ± 14.1, 54.9 ± 19.9, 65.6 ± 22.8, and 66.8 ± 28.4% at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. However, in group B, the mean %EWL was 42.1 ± 13.4, 63.8 ± 19.8, 80.0 ± 22.1, and 81.5 ± 22.9% at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. Patients in group B experienced statistically significant greater weight loss than patients in group A. Statistically significant greater weight regain was seen in group A. Group A had a higher incidence of reflux symptoms (six patients; 11%) than group B (four patients; 7.1%). CONCLUSIONS Radical antral resection in association with LSG safely potentiates the restrictive effect achieved and may result in greater and better maintained weight loss.

Abstract
Introduction The dumping syndrome is frequent in bariatric surgery. It is probably the most common syndrome following partial or complete gastrectomy. Its prevalence in partial gastrectomy can reach up to 50%, thus it can be a significant complication arising from some types of bariatric surgeries. Objective: Critical analysis on dumping syndrome, its pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment. Methods: A literature review was performed using the key words: 'dumping syndrome', 'bariatric surgery' and 'rapid dumping syndrome'. Inclusion criteria were: books, original works, case reports and meta-analyzes, and the exclusion criterion was literature review. Concerning the publication time, articles were screened between 1960 and May 2015. Results: The dumping syndrome is complication arising from obesity surgeries, but also can be a result of vagus nerve damage. Diagnosis is done primarily through the use of questionnaires based on scores. Conclusion: The Sigstad score and Arts survey are valid means for assessing the dumping syndrome. Initial therapy consists in the adoption of dietary measures, short acting drugs administration.

Abstract
Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with neuroglycopenia is an increasingly recognized complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) due to the changes in gut hormonal milieu. Physicians should be aware of this complication to ensure timely and effective treatment of post-RYGB patients, who present to them with hypoglycemic symptoms. Possible causes of hypoglycemia in these patients include late dumping syndrome, nesidioblastosis and rarely insulinoma. Systematic evaluation including history, biochemical analysis, and diagnostic testing might help in distinguishing among these diagnoses. Continuous glucose monitoring is also a valuable tool, revealing the episodes in the natural environment and can also be used to monitor treatment success. Treatment should begin with strict low carbohydrate diet, followed by medication therapy. Therapy with diazoxide, acarbose, calcium channel blockers and octreotide have been proven to be beneficial, but the response apparently is highly variable. When other treatment options fail, surgical options can be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric procedure. However, postprandial symptoms can compromise its beneficial effect. It is not known if a changed gastric emptying and these symptoms are related. This study aimed to assess the association between postprandial symptoms and the gastric emptying pattern after LSG. METHODS A gastric emptying study with a solid and liquid meal component was performed in the second year after LSG. Before the test, symptoms were assessed using a standardized questionnaire, and during the test, symptoms were scored on a visual analog scale (VAS). Gastric emptying results were expressed as lag phase, half time of gastric emptying (T½), and caloric emptying rate/minute. RESULTS Twenty patients (14 F/6 M; age 45.6 ± 7.7 years, weight 93.4 ± 28.2 kg, BMI 31.6 ± 8.1 kg/m(2)) participated in this study; 13 had a low symptom score (≤9, group I), 7 a high symptom score (≥18, group II). VAS scores for epigastric pain, nausea, and belching were significantly higher in group II. Lag phase (solid) was 6.4 ± 4.5 min in group I, 7.3 ± 6.3 in group II (p = 0.94); T½ (solid) was 40.6 ± 10.0 min in group I, 34.4 ± 9.3 in group II (p = 0.27); caloric emptying rate was 3.9 ± 0.6 kcal/min in group I, 3.9 ± 1.0 kcal/min in group II (p = 0.32). CONCLUSIONS Patients with postprandial symptoms after LSG reported more symptoms during the gastric emptying study than patients without symptoms. However, there was no difference between gastric emptying characteristics between both groups, suggesting that abnormal gastric emptying is not a major determinant of postprandial symptoms after LSG.

Abstract
Background Roux-en-Ygastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) rank among the most frequently applied bariatric procedures worldwide due to their positive risk/benefit correlation. A systematic review revealed a similar excess weight loss (EWL) 2 years postoperatively between SG and RYGB. However, there is a lack of randomized controlled multi-centre trials comparing SG and RYGB, not only concerning EWL, but also in terms of remission of obesity-related co-morbidities, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and quality of life (QoL) in the mid- and long-term. Methods The BariSurg trial was designed as a multi-centre, randomized controlled patient and observer blind trial. The trial protocol was approved by the corresponding ethics committees of the centres. To demonstrate EWL non-inferiority of SG compared to RYGB, power calculation was performed according to a non-inferiority study design. Morbidity, mortality, remission of obesity-related co-morbidities, GERD course and QoL are major secondary endpoints. 248 patients between 18 and 70 years, with a body mass index (BMI) between 35–60 kg/m2 and indication for bariatric surgery according to the most recent German S3-guidelines will be randomized. The primary and secondary endpoints will be assessed prior to surgery and afterwards at discharge and at the time points 3–6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months postoperatively. Discussion With its five year follow-up, the BariSurg-trial will provide further evidence based data concerning the impact of SG and RYGB on EWL, remission of obesity-related co-morbidities, the course of GERD and QoL. Trial registration The trial protocol has been registered in the German Clinical Trials Register DRKS00004766.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dumping syndrome is a common complication after surgery of the upper gastrointestinal tract with symptoms ranging from mild gastrointestinal discomfort and moderate vasomotor disturbances, to severe hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Due to the increasing number of bariatric procedures being performed worldwide, bariatric surgery has become the most common cause for this disease entity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to highlight the evidence for the physiological mechanisms contributing to dumping syndrome after the two most common bariatric surgery procedures, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, to discuss technical aspects of the procedures underlying the development of the syndrome, patient-related predictive factors and other differential diagnoses, together with diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dumping syndrome is the term used to describe a common set of symptoms following gastric surgery, and is characterised by postprandial discomfort which can entail nutritional problems. The condition was well known when surgery was the usual treatment for peptic ulcer disease. The increasing number of operations for morbid obesity means that the condition is once again of relevance, and health personnel will encounter these patients in different contexts. This article discusses the prevalence, symptomatology and treatment of dumping syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHOD This review article is based on a selection of articles identified in PubMed and assessed as having particular relevance for elucidating this issue, as well as on the authors' own clinical experience. RESULTS Early dumping syndrome generally occurs within 15 minutes of ingesting a meal and is attributable to the rapid transit of food into the small intestine. Nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, a sensation of heat, dizziness, reduced blood pressure and palpitations are typical symptoms. Lethargy and sleepiness after meals are common. Late dumping syndrome occurs later and may be attributed to hypoglycaemia with tremors, cold sweats, difficulty in concentrating, and loss of consciousness. Dumping-related symptoms occur in between 20 and 50% of patients following gastric surgery. Early dumping syndrome is more frequent than late dumping syndrome. It is estimated that 10-20% of patients have pronounced symptoms and 1-5% have severe symptoms. The diagnosis is usually made on the basis of typical symptoms. Most patients experience alleviation of the symptoms over time and with changes in diet and eating habits. Further patient evaluation and drug or surgical intervention may be relevant for some individuals. INTERPRETATION Dumping-related symptoms are common after gastric surgery. The extent of obesity surgery in particular means that health personnel should be familiar with this condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroglucopenic hypoglycemia might be an underestimated threat for roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients leading to fatigue, syncope, seizures or even accidental deaths. Different measurements can assess hypoglycemia such as a finger-stick glucometer, an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, a Mixed Meal-Test (MMT) or, as introduced recently, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). SETTING University Hospital, Austria. METHODS To assess the incidence of hypoglycemic episodes under real life conditions, 5-day CGM was performed in a series of 40 patients at a mean of 86 months after RYGB. The detection rates were compared to a mixed meal-test. RESULTS CGM detected hypoglycemic episodes of <55 mg/dL or <3.05 mmol/L in 75% of the patients, while MMT indicated hypoglycemia in 29% of the patients. CGM also detected nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes in 15 (38%) of the patients. A mean of 3±1 hypoglycemic episodes per patient with a mean duration of 71±25 minutes were observed by CGM. CONCLUSIONS Assessed under real life conditions by CGM, post-RYGB hypoglycemia was found more frequently than expected. CGM revealed hypoglycemic episodes in 75% of the patients while MMT had a lower detection rate. Thus, CGM may have a role for screening but also for the evaluation of dietary modifications, drug therapy or surgical intervention for hypoglycemia after RYGB.

Abstract
The rapid reversal of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and obesity by surgical means has challenged accepted doctrines regarding the management of metabolic syndrome. Sleeve gastrectomy, which developed initially as a preparatory procedure for biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, has seen an exponential rise in popularity as an effective lone laparoscopic bariatric procedure. Superior excess weight loss, a low complication rate, and excellent food tolerance, combined with a short hospital stay, have made this the procedure of choice for patients and surgeons across the globe. High volume centres nurture the ongoing development of experienced and specialized teams, pathways and regimens. Optimum surgical outcomes allow minimization of metabolic syndrome, reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk.

Abstract
Bariatric surgical procedure are increasingly and successfully applied in the treatment of morbid obesity. Nevertheless, these procedures are not devoid of potential long-term complications. Dumping syndrome may occur after procedures involving at least partial gastric resection or bypass, including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy. Diagnosis is based on clinical alertness and glucose tolerance testing. Treatment may involve dietary measures, acarbose and somatostatin analogues, or surgical reintervention for refractory cases. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be aggravated by vertical banded gastroplasty and sleeve gastrectomy procedures, but pre-existing GERD may improve after RYGB and with adjustable gastric banding. Nutrient deficiencies constitute the most important long-term complications of bariatric interventions, as they may lead to haematological, metabolic and especially neurological disorders which are not always reversible. Malabsorptive procedures, poor postoperative nutrient intake, recurrent vomiting and poor compliance with vitamin supplement intake and regular follow-up are important risk factors. Preoperative nutritional assessment and rigourous postoperative follow-up plan with administration of multi-vitamin supplements and assessment of serum levels is recommended in all patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become an established primary bariatric procedure. Gastric stenosis after LSG has been reported in a few studies and often occurs at the level of incisura or midbody because of a technical operative error and could be associated with a leak. This can be managed by endoscopic dilations or revision surgery. The objective of this study is to describe a novel technique to deal with sleeve stenosis and its outcome. METHODS Two patients presented with sleeve stenosis after LSG and underwent a novel technique. The patients were followed up for 18 months. RESULTS We describe a novel technique of laparoscopic median gastrectomy in 2 patients that involved resection of the stenotic segment followed by a hand-sewn, gastrogastric, end-to-end anastomosis. Both patients had successfully recovered from stenosis related symptoms, although one required an endoscopic dilation of the anastomosis. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic median gastrectomy is a feasible and effective option in patients who have failed conservative management of stenosis after LSG and in whom there is a desire to avoid seromyotomy or conversion to gastric bypass.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Global rise in the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus is widely recognized as one of the most challenging contemporary threats to public health. Weight loss surgery has proven to be an effective and durable solution for morbidly obese adults. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was introduced as a restrictive procedure for obese patients, initially described as a possible first-stage operation, but now commonly performed as a stand-alone bariatric operation for both high-risk and super-morbid-obese patients, as well as for patients with lower body mass index. This study aims to evaluate the progression of glucose metabolism in patients undergoing LSG. METHODS This prospective study investigated 62 patients who underwent LSG by the same surgical team in an 18-month period. Preoperative evaluation included demographic information, complete medical history including comorbidities and medication, clinical examination, evaluation of cardiopulmonary function, measurement of weight and height on a standard electronic scale, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and upper abdominal ultrasound, as well as interviews with a psychologist and nutritionist. Glucose metabolism was evaluated by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS The OGTT was significantly ameliorated in all groups during follow-up. Nine of 12 diabetic patients (75 %) ceased drug treatment at 3 months postoperatively (p = 0.004), increasing to 100 % at 1-year follow-up (p < 0.001). Normoglycemic patients and patients with borderline OGTT experienced mild or severe hypoglycemia during the glucose tolerance test at 3, 6, and 12 months' follow-up. CONCLUSIONS LSG offers excellent results to morbidly obese patients with regard to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Implementation of OGTT in these patients can be a valuable tool in their postoperative management. Bariatric teams performing LSG for morbid obesity should heighten their sensitivity to postoperative hypoglycemia, even in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical technique of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has not been fully standardized yet and there is the unresolved question of what is the optimum size of retained pyloric antrum. The aim of our research was to prove that even after a radical resection of the pyloric antrum the physiological stomach evacuation function can still be preserved. METHODS Our study was based on 12 patients, who were randomly divided into two groups. Patients undergoing radical antrum resection (RA group) underwent gastric emptying scintigraphy to determine the evacuation half-time (T1/2) and food retention in the 90th minute of the test (%GE) both before the operation and 3 months afterward. Patients in whom the antrum was preserved (PA group) served as a control group for comparison of postoperative weight loss (in kilogram), decrease in body mass index (BMI), and decline in excess weight (%EWL). The resulting changes were statistically processed. RESULTS In the RA group, the average time T1/2 declined from 57.5 to 32.25 min (p = 0.016) and average retention %GE dropped from 20.5 to 9.5% (p = 0.073). Differences in the average values of weight, BMI, or %EWL between both groups were of no statistical significance (p > 0.8). CONCLUSIONS In the RA group, an increase in gastric emptying postoperatively was noted. Complications such as failure of stomach evacuation were not observed in the RA group. Our results suggest that even more radical resection of the pyloric antrum performed by LSG is possible without concerns of postoperative disorder of the stomach evacuation function.

Abstract
Obesity is considered an important risk factor for the development of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, likely through alterations of GI motility. Even though gastroesophageal reflux disease is the condition mainly studied at present, the prevalence of other upper GI symptoms is also augmented in obese patients. Owing to their chronic trend, these disorders have a bearing on public spending and their correct diagnosis would avoid unnecessary cost-consuming investigations. Furthermore, bariatric surgery dramatically changes GI anatomy and physiology, influencing GI symptom outcomes. The aim of this review is to categorize the available results in a pathophysiological framework in an attempt to set up the correct clinical GI management of obese patients before and after bariatric surgery. This would be helpful in tentatively reducing their considerable economic burden on public health services.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery can effectively reduce body weight and treat obesity associated metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. There are also benefits for an individual's functional status and psychological health. A multi-disciplinary evaluation should be offered to the individual as the first essential step in considering bariatric surgery as a treatment. This evaluation should include a thorough medical assessment, as well as psychological and dietetic assessments. In this best practice article, we outline the current recommendations for referral for bariatric surgery. We also present the data for pre-operative assessment before bariatric surgery, with particular reference to cardiovascular disease and obstructive sleep apnoea. We describe the literature on outcomes after bariatric surgery, including the results for mortality, weight loss, remission of diabetes and associated endocrine disorders such as hypogonadism. Within this review, we will illustrate the impact of bariatric surgery on self-image, psychological health and perceived health and functional status. Finally, we briefly detail the potential complications of bariatric surgery, and offer advice on post-operative care and surveillance.

Abstract
Despite considerable scientific progress on the biological systems that regulate energy balance, we have made precious little headway in providing new treatments to curb the obesity epidemic. Diet and exercise are the most popular treatment options for obesity, but rarely are they sufficient to produce long-term weight loss. Bariatric surgery, on the other hand, results in dramatic, sustained weight loss and for this reason has gained increasing popularity as a treatment modality for obesity. At least some surgical approaches also reduce obesity-related comorbidities including type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia. This success puts a premium on understanding how these surgeries exert their effects. This review focuses on the growing human and animal model literature addressing the underlying mechanisms. We compare three common procedures: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), and adjustable gastric banding (AGB). Although many would group together VSG and AGB as restrictive procedures of the stomach, VSG is more like RYGB than AGB in its effects on a host of endpoints including intake, food choice, glucose regulation, lipids and gut hormone secretion. Our strong belief is that to advance our understanding of these procedures, it is necessary to group bariatric procedures not on the basis of surgical similarity but rather on how they affect key physiological variables. This will allow for greater mechanistic insight into how bariatric surgery works, making it possible to help patients better choose the best possible procedure and to develop new therapeutic strategies that can help a larger portion of the obese population.
