Author ' s response to reviews Title : Complications and nutrient deficiencies two years after sleeve gastrectomy

Evaluation of nutrient status after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy 1, 3, and 5 years after surgery.

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy evolved as a primary bariatric procedure with little information on its nutritional effects. Our objective was to assess the longer term micronutrient and vitamin status after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at a university hospital.

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Risks and Complications

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric procedure, and it can be done as an isolated LSG or in conjunction with biliopancreatic diversion bypass/duodenal switch (laparoscopic duodenal switch; LDS). Gastroesophageal reflux after LSG has been described, but the mechanism is unknown and the treatment in the severest cases has not been discussed. We describe a co...
