Brief summary
Obesity is a major public health problem worldwide. Bariatric surgery has proved to be the most effective treatment of morbid obesity in terms of weight reduction and remission of co-morbid conditions during long-term follow-up. Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) has become the most performed intervention either worldwide or in France, where SG represents more than 60% of bariatric interventions and 114,817 patients operated between 2013 and 2016. Maximum Excess weight loss (%EWL) after SG is obtained at one-year post surgery. Then it has been largely reported in the literature that patients could present mild, moderate or important (notably in the super obese patients) weight regain associated with comorbidity relapse motivating redo surgery. Like in revisional surgery, operating super-obese patient (BMI ≥50 kg/m2) is a challenge. It has been shown that achieving significant weight loss was more difficult in patients with a BMI ≥ 50 compared to lower BMIs.
Detailed description
In these 2 populations of patients, more malabsorptive procedures like long limb One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass or Bilio-Pancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch could be more efficient but induce technical difficulties (high complication rate) and can be responsible for malnutrition (vitamin deficiencies, hypoalbuminemia…). That's why, in case of revisional surgery or for high BMI patients,laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is still considered as the gold standard and is the most performed intervention. To obtain better weight loss safely,Santoro et al. promoted the sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG+TB), a new intervention coupling a SG without interrupting pathway through the duodenum and preserving the pylorus and a long biliary limb RYGBP. Hypothesis: Because there is no duodenal and jejunal exclusion, malnutrition is expected to be less frequent after SG+TB compared to BPD/DS. Its anastomosis on the antrum makes SG+TB easier to perform in super-obese patient than standard RYGB but more efficient in term of weight loss. Compared to BPD/DS or SADI which involves dissection of the duodenum and the confection of a duodenojejunostomy, SG+TB is also expected to be easier then safer.
Interventions
PROCEDUREsleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG +TB)
In case of a first intention procedure, a typical sleeve gastrectomy is performed, calibrated on a 36 French bougie, stapling starting 4 to 6 cm from the pylorus. Antecolic gastroileal anastomosis is performed 250 cm from the ileocecal transition, on the antrum using a linear stapler (45-mm gold cartridge) or hand-sewn (at least 3 cm wide on the stomach). Laterolateral enteroanastomosis is performed 120 cm from the ileocecal junction. Thus, alimentary limb is 130cm and common limb 120cm.
PROCEDURERoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)
A small gastric pouch (30 cc) is performed. Antecolic gastroileal anastomosis is performed 200 cm from the Treitz junction, using a linear stapler (45-mm gold cartridge) or hand-sewn (at least 3 cm wide on the stomach). Laterolateral enteroanastomosis is performed 50 cm from the Treitz junction. Thus, alimentary limb is 150cm and biliary limb 50cm.

| The Excess Weight Loss percentage (EWL%) | at 2 years after surgery | The Excess Weight Loss percentage (EWL%) calculated with the following formula: ((weight at 2 years visit - initial weight (kg)) / (initial weight - ideal weight)) X 100 Ideal weight defined as the weight corresponding to a BMI = 25 kg/m2. Initial weight defined as preoperative weight at V1. All weights are expressed in kg |

Scores for Implicit Wanting typically range from -100-100 (due to RT there is no fixed min-max value) and have a typical mean of ±10±25 or for the appeal bias a typical mean of -10±30. |
