Associations between marital status and weight loss trajectories entering into early adulthood; a Teen-LABS study.
Among adolescents who underwent metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), it is unclear how relationships and specifically marital status (MS) may associate with long-term weight loss. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)

Remission of diabetes mellitus after bariatric surgery: the putative link with worsening diabetic retinopathy and a need for ongoing post-operative follow up retinal screening
The remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) demonstrated in 51% of patients in the study by Hage et al is impressive.1 The predictors of remission included pre-operative duration of T2DM, baseline HbA1C, insulin use prior to surgery, number of anti-diabetic medications and percentage weight loss with remission rates being higher and significantly noted in the top quartile of patients with obesity achieving maximum weight loss.

Effectiveness of Sleeve Gastrectomy Plus Fundoplication versus Sleeve Gastrectomy alone for Treatment of Severe Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a widely performed bariatric surgery but is associated with an increased risk of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) in the long-term. Addition of a fundoplication to LSG may improve lower oesophageal sphincter function and reduce postoperative GERD. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)

Six-Year Postoperative Associations Between the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory – 3 (MMPI-3) and Weight Recurrence, Eating Behaviors, Adherence, Alcohol Misuse, and Quality of Life
Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) leads to beneficial and sustained outcomes. However, many patients evidence weight recurrence and psychosocial functioning may be associated with weight recurrence. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory – 3 (MMPI-3) is validated for use in pre-surgical MBS evaluations and likely has clinical utility in understanding weight recurrence and other aspects of post-operative functioning.

Routine Extended (30 days) Chemoprophylaxis for Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy May Reduce Portomesenteric Vein Thrombosis Rates
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including Portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PMVT), is a major complication of sleeve gastrectomy (SG). We changed our practice in July 2021 to routinely discharge all SG patients post-operatively with extended chemoprophylaxis for 30 days. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)

Comment on: Is simultaneous bariatric surgery and ventral hernia repair a safe and effective approach?
I read with interest the article titled “Is Simultaneous Bariatric Surgery and Ventral Hernia Repair a Safe and Effective Approach?” by Khanna et al. from Australia [1]. Over a period of 18 years, their retrospective review identified 111 patients with bariatric surgery and simultaneous repair and 23 who had a postponed operation. Th e median operative time for the concurrent versus deferred groups was shorter (155 versus 287 min), with a lengthy stay (3 versus 7 d). In the simultaneous group, 5 infections occurred: 1 mesh infection that required explant (0.9%), 3 infected seromas (2.8%), and 1 surgical site infection...

Comment on: The role of dietitian follow-ups on nutritional outcomes post –bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery is well known as the most significant tool to long-term, significant weight loss success among patients with severe obesity. The registered dietician (RD) plays a pivotal role both pre-and postoperatively among bariatric surgery patients to help guide them and reinforce positive lifestyle habits to ensure lifelong success. The results of the study by Hassan et  al. [1] suggest that 3 or more RD visits during the first 12 months after bariatric surgery are associated with improved outcomes, including significant percentage total body weight loss and lower rates of 45 micronutrient deficiencies.

Comment on: Hiatal Hernia Repair after Previous Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass
I read with interest the paper by Vaughan et al. entitled “Hiatal Hernia Repair after Previous Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass” [1]. In this paper, the authors evaluated patients who had surgery at a Cleveland Clinic facility for hiatal hernias (HH) that presented after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This is the largest series in the literature to date dealing with this problem. There were 44 patients over a 12-year period and the average time to operation for hiatal hernia repair (HHR) was 59 months after the index procedure.

Bariatric Surgery is as Safe as Other Common Operations: An Analysis of the ACS-NSQIP
Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) is the most effective management for patients with obesity and weight-related medical conditions. Nonetheless, some primary care physicians (PCPs) and surgeons from other specialties are reluctant to refer patients for MBS due to safety concerns. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)

Comment on: Side-to-Side Magnetic Duodeno-Ileostomy in Adults with Severe Obesity with or without Type 2 Diabetes: Early Outcomes with Prior or Concurrent Sleeve Gastrectomy
While bariatric surgery is generally considered very safe, there remains a real risk of adverse events related to anastomotic leaks. Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses have demonstrated leak rates following gastric bypass to range from approximately 0.7-1.0%1,2. Studies suggest that leaks are more common in patients with multiple comorbidities and following open or revisional surgery1,2, and other studies suggest that technique-specific factors and device-specific factors do not contribute to the development of leaks3.
