Is Weight Loss Better if Staged Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal Bypass is Performed within the First Year of Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Background: The failure rates of Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are increasing especially in patients with super obesity. The two-stage approach to single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) allows the surgeons to do the SG first and conversion to SADI if failure is identified. Weight loss after SG stalls by 12-18 months. However, if this is true then what should be the golden period to perform this conversion, in order maximize the weight loss?
