Tu1916 – Assessment of Novel Plication Technique in the Treatment of Weight Regain After Roux-En Y Gastric Bypass

Characterization of weight loss and weight regain mechanisms after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in rats.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most effective therapy for morbid obesity, but it has a approximately 20% failure rate. To test our hypothesis that outcome depends on differential modifications of several energy-related systems, we used our established RYGB model in Sprague-Dawley diet-induced obese (DIO) rats to determine mechanisms contributing to successful (RGYB-S) or failed (RYGB-F)...

Laparoscopic placement of non-adjustable silicone ring for weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is presently one of the most popular surgical procedures for obesity. One of the possible long-term problems is weight regain, usually after a period of successful weight loss. Weight regain after RYGBP can be due to new eating habits, like sweet-eating or grazing, or volume eating because of impaired restriction. This paper reports our experience in ...

Gastrojejunal stoma diameter predicts weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

BACKGROUND & AIMS Weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with reductions in health status and quality of life. We evaluated whether gastrojejunal stoma diameter is a risk factor for weight regain after RYGB. METHODS We examined data collected over 4 years from consecutive patients referred to a tertiary care bariatric center for upper endoscopy after RYGB. We used l...

Comparison of roux-en-y gastric bypass techniques with and without distal gastric plication in patients with morbid obesity

Weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has a large negative impact on the Bariatric Quality of Life Index

BACKGROUND Despite initial successful weight loss, some patients may experience weight regain following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of weight regain on bariatric patients' quality of life (QoL). METHODS This was a prospective cross-sectional study. Fifty-six consecutive RYGB patients were recruited and divided into weight-regain and weight-stable cohorts....
