Loss to follow-up after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery - a post hoc analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that there are preoperative characteristics that may help in identifying patients likely to fail to attend follow-up visits after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Special effort should be made to inform these patients of the importance of follow-up and to encourage them to attend. PMID: 31014947 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
