Preconception maternal gastric bypass surgery and the impact on fetal growth parameters
Bariatric surgery is increasingly performed in women of reproductive age. As bariatric surgery will result in postoperative rapid catabolic weight loss which potentially leads to fetal malnutrition and directly related impaired intra-uterine growth, it is advised to postpone pregnancy for at least 12 -18 months after surgery.

Suicide attempts after bariatric surgery: comparison to a nonsurgical cohort of individuals with severe obesity
The rate of suicide is higher among individuals following bariatric surgery compared with the general population; however, it is not clear whether risk is associated with bariatric surgery beyond having severe obesity. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)

Insulin resistance levels predicted metabolic improvement and weight loss after metabolic surgery in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients
The causes for failure of metabolic improvement and inadequate weight loss after metabolic surgery (MS) in Chinese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) patients have not been fully elucidated. The effect of insulin resistance (IR) on the outcome of T2D, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity after MS in Chinese T2D patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 25-32.5 kg/m2 warrants further study.

Comment on: Do sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass have different venous thromboembolism risk factors? Creation of 30-day bariatric hypercoagulation score
Although there is a general agreement that venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention is necessary for patients undergoing bariatric surgery, there is no consensus among medical professionals about the appropriate dosage and duration of chemoprophylaxis. Published guidelines for the bariatric population often provide heterogeneous recommendations, which may be attributed to a lack of high-quality randomized trials in this field. Thromboprophylaxis is recommended for patients undergoing bariatric surgery by the American College of Chest Physicians, but specific guidelines regarding the optimal dose and duration have not been e...
