Factors involved in body weight loss and its maintenance in morbidly obese inpatients

ConclusionThese results suggest that EWL in morbidly obese inpatients is greater than those with lower baseline BMI and fat mass. The presence of diabetes had no effects on EWL during hospitalization. EWL during hospitalization was not correlated with its maintenance after discharge. Diabetic patients displayed lesser degree of body weight gain after discharge, possibly due to the effects of anti-diabetic medications.
