Exploring the Impact of Preoperative Insulin Resistance Levels on Outcomes after Metabolic Surgery: A Focus on Multiracial T2DM Patients
We are pleased that our study can be of interest to academics and bariatric metabolic surgeons. We aim to explore the potential impact of preoperative insulin resistance levels on outcomes after bariatric surgery and expect to highlight its importance in the preoperative assessment of bariatric surgery, especially in Asian T2DM patients. Our results confirmed that IR levels predicted diabetes remission and weight loss 1 year after BS in Chinese T2DM patients with a BMI ≥25 kg/m2. Bariatric surgery can treat T2DM while reducing weight, and these benefits may be achieved in part by improving insulin resistance[1, 2]. (Sour...

Comment on: Type 2 diabetes remission after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a multicentered experience with long-term follow-up
I have greatly enjoyed both reviewing and reading this paper by Hage et  al. [1]. Tackling the surgical treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become a subject of uttermost importance over the past few years not only to surgeons but to physicians as well.

Comment on: Association of Prior Bariatric Surgery with Financial and Clinical Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Obesity is a chronic metabolic condition associated with many cardiovascular risk factors. While bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for weight loss, its most significant impact is on weight-related comorbidities, including heart disease. Cardiac disease is currently the leading cause of death among adults worldwide and incurs enormous cost on our healthcare system. Numerous well-controlled studies show a decreased risk of many cardiovascular disorders after bariatric surgery including dysrhythmia, coronary artery disease, and heart failure.

Comment on: The impact of metabolic surgery on natural conception rates in women with infertility, obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome: a retrospective study
Infertility is a major problem affecting 1 in 5 women [1], and contributes to poor emotional and psychological well-being. Unfortunately, women with obesity are disproportionally affected by infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS cause menstrual irregularities, hormonal imbalances, and anovulation. Estimates indicate that as many as 50-60% of patients with PCOS also suffer from overweight status or obesity. While a goal of 5% weight loss is thought to improve PCOS features, low retention rates for structured lifestyle modification programs and inability to keep excess weight off long term are unfortunately ...

Comment on: Role of the Exercise Professional in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery
Stults-Kolehmainen and colleagues conducted a multimethod study to identify roles and tasks of an exercise professional within the context of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). The roles and tasks include (1) exercise-related health assessment, (2) body composition and physical fitness assessment, (3) lifestyle physical activity and sedentary behavior assessment, (4) education, instruction, and prescription, (5) exercise professional in MBS monitoring, (6) behavioral counseling and psychosocial support, and (7) dietary support.

The role of anxiety and depression in understanding the relationship between coping and weight loss 24 months after bariatric surgery
The relationship between coping (i.e., how a person deals with stress) and weight loss after bariatric surgery is relatively inconsistent. Anxiety and depression may contribute to the lack of consistent findings in this area. It is possible that coping, including interpersonal, intrapersonal, and maladaptive coping, predicts weight loss among individuals with higher levels of anxiety or depression but not among those with lower levels of anxiety and depression. The aim of this study was to examine the moderating role of anxiety and depression on the association between coping and weight loss in patients 24 months after bar...

Hernia Repair in the Bariatric Patient: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Repair options for ventral hernias in bariatric patients include performing a staged approach in which bariatric surgery is performed before definitive hernia repair (BS-first), a staged approach in which hernia repair is performed before bariatric surgery (HR-first), or a concomitant approach.

Is Open-Capsule Proton Pump Inhibitor Associated with Faster Healing Time for Marginal Ulceration After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass?
Marginal ulceration (MU) is a significant cause of morbidity after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are the primary treatment. Prior limited data suggest that open-capsule PPI (OC-PPI) improves MU healing compared to intact-capsule PPI (IC-PPI), necessitating further validation.
