Factors Associated with the Decision to Complete Bariatric Metabolic Surgery among a Racially and Ethnically Diverse Sample of Adults: A Classification and Regression Tree Analysis
ConclusionThese findings highlight racial and ethnic group differences in the factors motivating individuals to complete BMS. By acknowledging these differences, healthcare providers can support patients from different backgrounds more effectively in their decision-making process regarding BMS.Graphical abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Liver Bacterial Colonization in Patients with Obesity and Gut Dysbiosis
ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the presence of bacterial genome in a liver biopsy on bariatric patients, instead of the microbe-associated molecular patterns. Notably, in literature, the presence ofRoseburia intestinalis in stool samples has been shown to prevent intestinal inflammation playing its role in the gut barrier integrity. In our population, theRoseburia reduction was associated with the presence of bacterial genome in the liver, probably related to a greater permeability of the gut and vascular barriers.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Safety of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs as Part of Enhanced Recovery After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy —A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
AbstractLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric surgery option for managing extreme obesity in most patients. While non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) promise postoperative pain management after bariatric surgeries, their safety in LSG remains unexplored. In this systematic review, we studied the safety of NSAIDs following LSG reported by six studies involving 588 patients. Our study demonstrated that NSAIDs effectively alleviated the postoperative pain after LSG without major safety concerns. Most reported (>20% incidence) adverse events included postoperative nausea and vomiting (PO...

Identification of Predictors of Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis and Its Severity in Individuals Undergoing Bariatric Surgery
ConclusionsNASH and severe NAFLD associated with higher levels of ALT, ALP, and glucose. Severe NAFLD associated with higher BMI and higher ferritin levels in this group. The concomitant evaluation of these laboratory tests could help ruling out NASH and safely screening severe NAFLD.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)

Pre- and Post-surgical Prevalence of Thiamine Deficiency in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
AbstractThiamine deficiency is a life-threatening nutritional abnormality observed in the patients with obesity and following bariatric surgery. The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of thiamine deficiency prior to and after bariatric procedures. PubMed, Web of Science, Google scholar, CENTRAL, ProQuest, and Scopus were searched to retrieve relevant studies containing data on thiamine deficiency in patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery. A proportional meta-analysis approach was used to pool the prevalence of thiamine deficiency prior and after surgery. Our comprehensive literature sear...

Insight of the Biopharmaceutical Implication of Sleeve Gastrectomy on Levothyroxine Absorption in Hypothyroidism Patients
ConclusionThe LT4 required doses significantly reduced after sleeve gastrectomy, which can be related to the improved endogenous thyroid production in patients with obesity. However, the abnormality of the GIT induced by the sleeve gastrectomy may affect the exogenous LT4 absorption. Using liquid forms of LT4 while monitoring the thyroid function parameters can optimize the treatment after the procedure.Graphical Abstract (Source: Obesity Surgery)
