Surgery in Patients with Super Obesity: Medium-Term Follow-Up Outcomes at a High-Volume Center.

CONCLUSIONS: BSG, OAGB, and BRYGB have very good to excellent midterm outcomes for patients with super obesity and super-super obesity, whereas RYGB and SG have average outcomes at 3 years. There is a need for multicenter, long-term, and prospective studies to be performed to confirm these findings.
