Abstract

Purpose

Conditions associated with surgical technique and postoperative lifestyle changes, as well as the characteristics of patients, may affect weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In this study, the effects of age, gender, BMI, and excess weight at the time of surgery on weight loss during follow-up were examined.

Materials and Methods

Demographic data (age, gender), preoperative BMI, and weight values of the patients were recorded. TWL% and EWL% values of patients were recorded during follow-up at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, and 18th months. Patients were grouped according to age (AGE1 < 30, AGE2 30–50, AGE3 ≥ 50 years), BMI at the time of surgery (BMI1 ≤ 50, BMI2 > 50 kg/m2), and EW at the time of surgery (EW1 ≤ 60, EW2 > 60 kg). EWL% values obtained in the follow-up visits were compared among the gender, age, BMI, and EW groups.

Results

A total of 456 patients (371 females, 85 males) were operated. Mean EWL% was lower in AGE3 group (p < 0.001). Patients in AGE1 group had the highest mean EWL%, while those in BMI2 and EW2 groups had lower mean EWL% values throughout the follow-up period (p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that age and BMI were associated with EWL% at all follow-up visits (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Patients with less than 60 kg of excess weight, those with BMI ≤ 50 kg/m2 and younger patients may lose weight more effectively following LSG.
