A 9 years comparison of weight loss, disappearance of obesity, and resolution of diabetes mellitus with biliointestinal bypass and with adjustable gastric banding: experience of a collaborative network

Description
Summary:Aims Long-term comparisons between bariatric surgical techniques have been performed for gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) vs gastric banding (LAGB), but short-term studies (6 months–4 years) have only compared biliointestinal bypass (BIBP) and LAGB. The participating institutions regularly perform both BIBP and LAGB with a common protocol, and the aim of this retrospective study was to compare long-term effects of the two procedures on body weight, on clinical and metabolic variables, and on resolution of obesity and of diabetes. Methods All procedures performed between 01/01/1998 and 31/12/2005 were considered; 73 out of 91 patients undergoing BIBP, and 154 out of 249 patients undergoing LAGB were evaluable up to 9 years. Results BIBP was significantly more effective than LAGB in terms of weight loss and of resolution of obesity (BMI
