Obesity, Morbid
Conditions
Brief summary
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in super obese patients (BMI≥50kg/m2) is a challenging operation. Weight reduction with intragastric balloon (IGB) prior to LRYGB may improve operative outcomes and improves weight loss. We assessed 155 patients, with a BMI≥50 kg/m2 who underwent either intra-gastric balloon (IGB) insertion followed by LRYGB (two-stage group), or LRYGB as the definitive bariatric procedure (single-stage group) in our institution. Two stage procedure was adopted for high-risk individuals.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of total weight loss measured in kilograms following Bariatric Surgery | 24 months after Bariatric Surgery | Percentage total weight loss is the proportion of weight lost in kilograms since the intervention of the weight before the intervention. This will be calculated by using the following formula. Initial weight is considered the weight on the day of surgery and Postop weight considered as the weight 24 months following Bariatric Surgery (intervention). Percent of total weight loss (%TWL)=((Initial Weight)-(Postop Weight)): Initial Weight x 100 Weight is expressed in kilograms. |
| Length of hospital stay in days following Bariatric Surgery | 90 days following gastric bypass surgery | Hospital stay following laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery measured in days and compared between the groups. |
