Gastric band conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass shows greater weight loss than conversion to sleeve gastrectomy: 5-year outcomes.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are often used as revisional surgeries for a failed laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB). There is debate over which procedure provides better long-term weight loss. ⋯ Weight loss is significantly greater for patients undergoing LAGB conversion to RYGB than LAGB to LSG. However, those undergoing LAGB conversion to RYGB had higher rates of reoperation and readmission. Patients looking for the most effective weight loss surgery after failed LAGB should be advised to have RYGB performed, while also understanding the increased risks of the procedure.

Controlled Clinical TrialSecond-stage duodenal switch for sleeve gastrectomy failure: A matched controlled trial.
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the predominant bariatric surgery worldwide. However, the surgical management in case of failure is still debated. ⋯ Second-stage DS is an effective option for the management of suboptimal outcomes of SG, with an additional 41% excess weight loss and 35% remission rate for type 2 diabetes. At 3 years, the global outcomes of staged approach did not significantly differ from single-stage BPD-DS; however, longer-term outcomes are still needed.

Comparative StudyHistologic improvement of NAFLD in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery based on standardized NAS (NAFLD activity score).
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disorder in industrialized countries. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is the fastest growing cause for liver failure. Bariatric surgery represents a treatment option for NAFLD with an established effect on liver histology. ⋯ Bariatric surgery significantly improves NAFLD.
