Abstract
Background The link between excess adiposity and carcinogenesis has been well established for multiple malignancies, and cancer is one of the main contributors to obesity-related mortality. The potential role of different weight-loss interventions on cancer risk modification has been assessed, however, its clinical implications remain to be determined. In this clinical review, we present the data assessing the effect of weight loss interventions on cancer risk. Methods In this clinical review, we conducted a comprehensive search of relevant literature using MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases for relevant studies from inception to January 20, 2024. In this clinical review, we present systematic reviews and meta-analysis, randomized clinical trials, and prospective and retrospective observational studies that address the effect of different treatment modalities for obesity in cancer risk. In addition, we incorporate the opinions from experts in the field of obesity medicine and oncology regarding the potential of weight loss as a preventative intervention for cancer. Results Intentional weight loss achieved through different modalities has been associated with a reduced cancer incidence. To date, the effect of weight loss on the postmenopausal women population has been more widely studied, with multiple reports indicating a protective effect of weight loss on hormone-dependent malignancies. The effect of bariatric interventions as a protective intervention for cancer has been studied extensively, showing a significant reduction in cancer incidence and mortality, however, data for the effect of bariatric surgery on certain specific types of cancer is conflicting or limited. Conclusion Medical nutrition therapy, exercise, antiobesity medication, and bariatric interventions, might lead to a reduction in cancer risk through weight loss-dependent and independent factors. Further evidence is needed to better determine which population might benefit the most, and the amount of weight loss required to provide a clinically significant preventative effect.

Abstract
Pre-surgical psychological evaluations (PSPE) are required by many insurance companies and used to help identify risk factors that may compromise bariatric post-surgical outcomes. These evaluations, however, are not yet standardized. The present study investigated the utility of a semi-structured assessment, Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplantation (SIPAT), on post-surgical outcomes across 18 months. A total of 272 adult patients underwent a psychosocial evaluation and received bariatric surgery November 2017 to September 2020 at a Midwestern academic medical center. Average age at pre-surgical evaluation was 45.2 (SD = 10.7) years and 82.3% of patients were female (n = 224). With an a priori α of 0.05, multi-level modeling with weight as the outcome and regression with complications as the outcome were used. Higher SIPAT Patient Readiness, indicating difficulty with adhering to health behaviors and a reduced understanding of bariatric surgery, was associated with elevated patient weight at the 18-month follow-up (𝛽 = 0.129, p = 0.03). Higher SIPAT Social Support, was associated with patient weight at the 18-month follow-up, with reduced support associated with greater weight (𝛽 = 0.254, p = 0.004). Higher SIPAT Social Support also was associated with a greater risk of complications across the 18-month follow-up window (𝛽 = -0.108, p = 0.05). Patients with higher readiness to adhere to behavioral changes, and those reporting an intact social support system, generally weighed less at 18 months. The SIPAT may be considered as part of the standardized pre-surgical assessment, however, further research is required to elucidate its utility.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limited studies investigate bariatric surgery's role in improving UI status among Asians, specifically Middle Eastern Asian women. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on the three most prevalent urine incontinence (UI).We also reviewed the current literature exploring the studies performed in Asian countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 77 women out of 200 who had UI and indications for bariatric surgery completed demographic information and the questionnaire (QUID) prior to surgery and 6 months after the surgery. For statistical analysis, the Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test, and Friedman test were utilized. We also performed a literature review with the aim of investigating studies performed in Asian countries. RESULTS Among the initial analysis of 200 participants, 50.5% reported UI symptoms before surgery. The average weight loss was 29 kg, with a standard deviation of 7 kg. The mean BMI dropped 11.2 kg/m2, and the standard deviation was 2.5 after weight loss. Post-surgery, significant reductions in UI scores were observed across all severity levels, with a notable 44% achieving complete symptom resolution, indicating a substantial decrease in urinary incontinence. Stress, urine incontinence, and mixed urine incontinence symptoms had improved in 75%, 71%, and 30% of women, respectively. Notably, age and gynecological history were identified as critical factors influencing the extent of UI improvement. CONCLUSION This study reveals significant improvements in urinary incontinence scores, with age and gynecological history playing pivotal roles in UI improvement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate usage and utility of routine upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series in the immediate post-operative period to evaluate for leak and other complications. METHODS Single institution IRB-approved retrospective review of patients who underwent bariatric procedure between 01/08 and 12/12 with at least 6-month follow-up. RESULTS Out of 135 patients (23%) who underwent routine UGI imaging, 32% of patients were post-gastric bypass (127) versus 4% of sleeve gastrectomy (8). In patients post-gastric bypass, 22 were found with delayed contrast passage, 3 possible obstruction, 4 possible leak, and only 1 definite leak. In patients post-sleeve gastrectomy, 2 had delayed passage of contrast without evidence of a leak. No leak was identified in 443 patients (77%) who did not undergo imaging. The sensitivity and specificity of UGI series for the detection of leak in gastric bypass patients were 100% and 97%, respectively, and the positive and negative predictive values were 20% and 100%, respectively. On univariate and multivariate analysis, sleeve gastrectomy patients (OR 0.4 sleeve vs bypass; P < 0.01) and male patients (OR 0.4 M vs F; P 0.02) were less likely to undergo routine UGI series (OR 0.4 M vs F; P 0.02). CONCLUSION Routine UGI series may be of limited value for the detection of anastomotic leaks after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy and patients should undergo routine imaging based on clinical parameters. Gastric bypass procedure and female gender were factors increasing the likelihood of routine post-operative UGI. Further larger scale analysis of this important topic is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Achondroplasia is a common skeletal dysplasia with a high prevalence of obesity in adulthood. Bariatric surgery has been shown to be effective in treating obesity and related comorbidities, but its feasibility and effectiveness in patients with achondroplasia have not been clearly established. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of bariatric surgery in patients with achondroplasia. SETTING This study was performed in France, and bariatric surgeons from the Société Française et Francophone de Chirurgie de l'Obésité et des Maladies Métaboliques (French Francophone Society of Surgery for Obesity or Metabolic Diseases) were asked to participate. METHODS Two adult women with confirmed achondroplasia and a high BMI were selected for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Preoperative data were collected, including demographic information, comorbidities, and follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Complications were monitored and recorded. RESULTS Both patients had good excess weight loss outcomes, with an average excess weight loss of 60.5% 1 year after surgery. One patient had a follow-up of 3 years and an excess weight loss of 44%. The surgery was well-tolerated, and no major complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery is feasible and effective in patients with achondroplasia, with good outcomes for excess weight loss and related comorbidities. These findings suggest that bariatric surgery should be considered a treatment option for patients with achondroplasia and obesity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Overly rigid forms of dietary restraint are associated with poorer weight loss outcomes. Dichotomous ("all or nothing") thinking has been shown to mediate this relationship in non-clinical participants, but this finding has yet to be replicated in clinical samples of individuals who have had weight-loss surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional design was used, adopting quantitative questionnaires with 129 individuals who had previously underwent bariatric surgery at least 12 months prior to participation. Bootstrapped mediation analysis was used to establish the mediating role of dichotomous thinking. RESULTS Eating-specific dichotomous thinking was shown to fully mediate the relationship between dietary restraint and post-surgical weight loss. In contrast, no mediation effect was found for generalised dichotomous thinking. CONCLUSION Dichotomous thinking specifically about food/eating may play a central role in weight loss maintenance after weight-loss surgery. Pre-surgical assessment of dichotomous thinking, and provision of psychological therapy to think more flexibly about food, is suggested.

Abstract
We reviewed the available evidence on the outcome of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Five studies examining 174 patients were included; the mean age was 54.5 ± 9.27 years; the mean BMI before surgery and at the end of follow-up were 47.2 ± 5.95 kg/m2 and 37.4 ± 2.51 kg/m2, respectively. Furthermore, the results showed a significant decrease in the right ventricle systolic pressure (RVSP) after MBS with a mean difference of 10.11% (CI 95%: 3.52, 16.70, I2 = 85.37%, p = < 0.001), at 16.5 ± 3.8 month follow-up with a morbidity rate of 26% and 0 mortality. Thirty-day postoperative complications included respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary edema, and anastomotic leak. There appears to be a significant improvement in PH with a decrease in medication requirements after MBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric and metabolic surgery is recommended for Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and BMI ≥ 27.5 kg/m2. However, mid to long-term ·evidence is still lacking. METHODS Patients' data that underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as the primary surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were analyzed. Patients with T2DM diagnosed with either fasting blood glucose (FBG) ≥ 7.0 mmol/L or glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level ≥ 7.0% and 27.5 ≤ BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2 were included. RESULTS 24 patients (7 male and 17 female) were included in this study. With a mean follow-up duration of 4.5 ± 1.1 years, the mean percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) was 14.4 ± 6.7%. Postoperatively, nine patients (37%) still required oral anti-diabetic medications, while no patients used insulin. FBG and HbA1c levels declined to 6.3 ± 1.5 mmol/L and 6.0 ± 1.0%, respectively. Fifteen patients (63%) were with HbA1c levels < 7% and without medication requirements, five patients (21%) were with HbA1c levels < 7% with the help of oral anti-diabetic medication, and four patients (16%) were with HbA1c levels > 7% with the help of oral anti-diabetic medication. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides further evidence that SG could result in both T2DM improvement and remission in patients with BMI ≤ 30 kg/m2. Longer follow-up duration and larger sample will be needed in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bariatric surgery is effective for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D) in patients with obesity, although a significant proportion of these patients do not achieve diabetes remission after the surgery even after significant weight loss and metabolic improvement. C-peptide is a valuable marker of beta cell function and insulin secretion, but renal function must be considered when interpreting measurements in patients with T2D. The study aims to investigate the association of serum levels of C-peptide adjusted for creatinine with diabetes remission and glycemic target achievement after bariatric surgery in patients with obesity and T2D. METHODS AND RESULTS Prospective data from a cohort of 84 patients with obesity and T2D submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) were collected at baseline and at least a 6-month follow up. A multivariate binomial regression model showed that Ln(C-peptide/creatinine) and age were significantly associated with 6-month T2D remission. The area under the curve for the receiver operating characteristic analysis (AUROC) to predict remission was 0.87, and more accurate than the AUROC based on C-peptide levels alone (0.75). The same model was also able to predict achieving an HbA1c target of 7 % (53 mmol/mol) (AUROC 0.96). CONCLUSION In conclusion, Ln(C-peptide/creatinine) ratio could be a useful tool in predicting T2D remission and target achievement after RYGB surgery, providing a more accurate reflection of beta cell function in bariatric patients.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common concern following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). This paper aimed to assess the incidence of reflux disease following these bariatric procedures. A literature search was conducted to identify observational studies and clinical trials reporting patients developed GERD disease after LSG. Twenty-two studies included in the analysis, involve 20,495 participants, indicated that the estimated proportion of patients who developed post-surgery GERD was 0.35 (95% CI 0.30-0.41). Subgroup analysis revealed a proportion of 0.33 (95% CI 0.27-0.38) in observational studies and 0.58 (95% CI 0.39-0.75) in clinical trials. High heterogeneity was noted across studies (I2 = 98%). Sensitivity analyses and publication bias assessments were performed to enhance the robustness of the results. Our findings highlight a moderate to high risk of developing GERD following LSG surgery.

Abstract
Despite the current increase in revisional bariatric surgery (RBS), data on the sustainability of weight loss remain unclear. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess weight loss outcomes in adult patients undergoing RBS with follow-up > 2 years. Twenty-eight observational studies (n = 2213 patients) were included. The %TWL was 27.2 (95%CI = 23.7 to 30.6), and there was a drop in BMI of 10.2 kg/m2 (95%CI = - 11.6 to - 8.7). The %EWL was 54.8 (95%CI = 47.2 to 62.4) but with a high risk of publication bias (Egger's test = 0.003). The overall quality of evidence was very low. Our data reinforce that current evidence on RBS is mainly based on low-quality observational studies, and further higher-quality studies are needed to support evidence-based practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE The external oblique intercostal plane (EOI) block is a novel block technique for anterolateral upper abdominal wall analgesia. The superficial nature of the external oblique intercostal plane allows it to be easily identified even in patients with obesity. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that EOI block would reduce IV morphine consumption within 24 h after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: EOI block group and control group. The patients in the EOI block group received ultrasound-guided bilateral EOI block with a total of 40 ml 0.25% bupivacaine after anesthesia induction. The patients in the control group received no intervention. Postoperatively, all the patients were connected to an intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device containing morphine. The primary outcome of the study was IV morphine consumption in the first postoperative 24 h. RESULTS The median [interquartile range] morphine consumption at 24 h postoperatively was significantly lower in the EOI block group than in the control group (7.5 [3.5 to 8.5] mg vs 14 [12 to 20] mg, p = 0.0001, respectively). Numerical rating scale (NRS) scores at rest and during movement were lower in the EOI block group than in the control group at 2, 6, and 12 h but were similar at 24 h. No block-related complications were observed in any patients. CONCLUSION The results of the current study demonstrated that bilateral EOI block reduced postoperative opioid consumption and postoperative pain in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Knowing how metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is indicated in different countries is essential information for the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO). AIM To analyze the indications for MBS recommended by each of the national societies that comprise the IFSO and how MBS is financed in their countries. METHODS All IFSO societies were asked to fill out a survey asking whether they have, and which are their national guidelines, and if MBS is covered by their public health service. RESULTS Sixty-three out of the 72 IFSO national societies answered the form (87.5%). Among them, 74.6% have some kind of guidelines regarding indications for MBS. Twenty-two percent are still based on the US National Institute of Health (NIH) 1991 recommendations, 43.5% possess guidelines midway the 1991s and ASMBS/IFSO 2022 ones, and 34% have already adopted the latest ASMBS/IFSO 2022 guidelines. MBS was financially covered in 65% of the countries. CONCLUSIONS Most of the IFSO member societies have MBS guidelines. While more than a third of them have already shifted to the most updated ASMBS/IFSO 2022 ones, another significant number of countries are still following the NIH 1991 guidelines or even do not have any at all. Besides, there is a significant number of countries in which surgical treatment is not yet financially covered. More effort is needed to standardize indications worldwide and to influence insurers and health policymakers to increase the coverage of MBS.

Abstract
Obesity has received considerable attention in general medicine and nephrology over the last few years. This condition increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, which are the main risk factors for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kidney damage caused by obesity can be explained by many mechanisms, such as sympathetic nervous and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems activation, mechanical stress, hormonal unbalance, as well as inflammatory cytokines production. Even though creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equations in obese individuals have been validated (Salazar-Corcoran and CKD-MCQ), changes in body weight after bariatric surgery (BS) leads to changes in creatininemia, affecting its reliability. Thus, an average between creatine and cystatin-based GFR equations would be more appropriate in this setting. Bariatric surgery can reverse diabetes mellitus and improve hypertension, which are the main causes of CKD. Conclusion: GFR can be affected by obesity and BS, and its value should be cautiously evaluated in this setting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is estimated that most people undergoing bariatric surgery are women of reproductive age; nonetheless, its effects on pregnancy outcomes are not yet fully understood. METHODS Retrospective observational study, conducted in a tertiary center in Portugal, included participants in two groups: (1) pregnant women with a history of bariatric surgery (n = 89) and (2) pregnant women with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2, without previous bariatric surgery (n = 176). Data was collected from the medical files. Multivariate analysis was conducted to adjust for confounders. RESULTS Pregnancy after bariatric surgery was associated with lower risk of gestational diabetes (15.7% vs. 30.1%, p = 0.002) and cesarean delivery (20.7% vs. 33.5%, p = 0.007), and a higher gestational weight gain (10.58 ± 9.95 vs. 7.33 ± 6.00 kg, p < 0.001). Participants in the bariatric surgery who experienced a gestational weight gain ≤ 10.0 kg had a higher risk of preterm delivery (16.7% vs. 2.5%, p = 0.031). No significant differences were found regarding hypertensive diseases of pregnancy between groups (4.5% vs 11.4%, p = 0.147). Pregnancy after bariatric surgery was associated with lower neonate weight percentile (34.24 ± 21.09 vs. 48.77 ± 27.94, p < 0.001), higher risk of fetal growth restriction (5.6% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.018), and lower risk of fetal macrosomia (0.0% vs. 7.5%, p = 0.005). There were no significant differences in the risk of SGA (12.5% vs. 7.0%, p = 0.127) or LGA neonates (2.3% vs. 6.4%, p = 0.069). CONCLUSION Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is associated with both risks and benefits, which should be considered by healthcare providers. Pregnancy after bariatric surgery requires individualized care, to ensure adequate gestational weight and avoid micronutrient deficiencies.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze changes in retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels before and after bariatric surgery in obese individuals. Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective treatment for morbid obesity, impacting molecules like RBP4. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 relevant studies were conducted, utilizing databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, and Scopus. Significant differences in RBP4, glucose, and BMI levels pre- and post-surgery were observed. Meta-regression analysis explored associations with age, pre-BMI, triglycerides, glucose, and post-insulin levels. Findings suggest RBP4 may improve insulin sensitivity after bariatric surgery, warranting further investigation as a potential pharmacotherapeutic target. These results highlight the importance of understanding RBP4's role in the context of bariatric surgery and its implications for improving metabolic health in obese individuals.

Abstract
In a groundbreaking surgical collaboration, a team of surgeons in Lithuania successfully performed the first single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) operation under the remote telemonitoring guidance of a highly experienced surgeon from Spain.The Lithuanian surgical team, comprising skilled bariatric surgeons, meticulously prepared for the SADI-S operation under the remote guidance of their Spanish proctor. Utilizing video conferencing and real-time communication, the mentor provided step-by-step instructions, shared insights, and addressed any concerns during the procedure. The mentor's extensive experience and guidance ensured a safe and successful surgical outcome.This innovative approach not only demonstrates the potential of telemedicine in the field of complex bariatric surgeries but also highlights the power of international cooperation in advancing surgical techniques and patient care by using modern methods of telemedicine and proctorship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) can play an important role in optimizing metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) outcomes. However, many MBS patients have difficulty increasing PA, necessitating the development of theory-driven counseling interventions. This study aimed to (1) assess the feasibility and acceptability of the TELEhealth BARIatric behavioral intervention (TELE-BariACTIV) trial protocol/methods and intervention, which was designed to increase moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in adults awaiting MBS and (2) estimate the effect of the intervention on MVPA. METHODS This trial used a repeated single-case experimental design. Twelve insufficiently active adults awaiting MBS received 6 weekly 45-min PA videoconferencing counseling sessions. Feasibility and acceptability data (i.e., refusal, recruitment, retention, attendance, and attrition rates) were tracked and collected via online surveys, and interviews. MVPA was assessed via accelerometry pre-, during, and post-intervention. RESULTS Among the 24 patients referred to the research team; five declined to participate (refusal rate = 20.8%) and seven were ineligible or unreachable. The recruitment rate was 1.2 participants per month between 2021-09 and 2022-07. One participant withdrew during the baseline phase, and one after the intervention (retention rate = 83.3%). No participant dropouts occurred during the intervention and 98.6% of sessions were completed. Participants' anticipated and retrospective acceptability of the intervention was 3.2/4 (IQR, 0.5) and 3.0/4 (IQR, 0.2), respectively. There was a statistically significant increase in MVPA [Tau-U = 0.32(0.11; 0.51)] from pre- to post-intervention. CONCLUSION Despite a low recruitment rate, which could be explained by circumstances (COVID-19 pandemic), results support feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the TELE-Bari-ACTIV intervention for increasing MVPA in patients awaiting MBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is high among the bariatric surgery candidates. Obesity is the most important individual risk factor for OSA. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) on OSA 5 years after the surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this prospective multicenter study, standard overnight cardiorespiratory recording was conducted to 150 patients at baseline prior to bariatric surgery. A total of 111 (73.3%) patients of those had OSA. Cardiorespiratory recordings at 5 years after surgery were available for 70 OSA patients. The changes in anthropometric and demographic measurements including age, weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist and neck circumference were evaluated. Also, a quality of life (QoL) questionnaire 15D administered in a baseline was controlled at 5-year follow-up visit. RESULTS At 5-year OSA was cured in 55% of patients, but moderate or severe OSA still persisted in 20% of patients after operation. Mean total AHI decreased from 27.8 events/h to 8.8 events/h (p < 0.001) at 5-year follow-up. A clinically significant difference in QoL was seen in mobility, breathing, sleeping, usual activities, discomfort and symptoms, vitality and sexual activity. The QoL total score improved more in OSA patient at 5-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS LRYGB is an effective treatment of OSA in obese patients and the achieved beneficial outcomes are maintained at 5-year follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is a procedure for people with class II and III obesity who are unable to lose weight using traditional methods. The incidence rate of bariatric surgery in reproductive-age women is increasing rapidly, so the number of women who become pregnant after bariatric surgery is rising. AIM To collate and synthesise available literature regarding breastfeeding following bariatric surgery. METHODS This review was reported by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-Scr). The review included peer-reviewed research studies and research-based conference abstracts on breastfeeding outcomes in mothers who have undergone bariatric surgery before pregnancy. Health databases were searched from 1990 to December 2023. Included studies were analysed using a narrative synthesis. FINDINGS From 1506 abstracts, 16 papers were identified. Three themes emerged from the analysis: challenges in exclusive breastfeeding, nutritional composition in breast milk, and breastfeeding experience. There was a tendency for lower breastfeeding rates and shorter durations in mothers who had bariatric surgery. Most studies focussed on the nutritional composition of breast milk however these results were mixed. Only three articles were qualitative, and their findings showed that women wanted more information and support about breastfeeding following bariatric surgery. DISCUSSION Our review indicates breastfeeding challenges in post-bariatric surgery mothers and reduced breastfeeding rates. It is unclear whether bariatric surgery impacts the nutritional quality of breast milk due to inconsistent study outcomes. CONCLUSION Future research is essential, specifically on understanding the breastfeeding concerns and experiences of women who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endoscopy prior to bariatric surgery is not always performed, and in sleeve gastrectomy (SG), the surgical specimen is not always sent for pathological examination. There is limited data on the frequency of clinically significant findings in SG specimens or correlation with preoperative endoscopy. METHODS We reviewed 426 consecutive SG patients to determine the concordance of preoperative endoscopy findings in patients with clinically significant postoperative pathology. RESULTS Preoperative endoscopy was performed on 397 patients (93.2%). Three hundred seventy-three patients had preoperative endoscopy and surgical pathology results available. Then, 20/373 (5.4%) patients had potentially significant postoperative pathology, including intestinal metaplasia, autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis (AMAG), gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and/or gastric cancer. The overall incidence of AMAG in the entire cohort was 2.3%. Preoperative gastric biopsies (to include gastric body) identified AMAG in nearly 1/2 of patients. Patients with clinically significant postoperative pathology results had a median [interquartile range] of 3 [3-5] tissue blocks examined as compared to 3 [1-3] for the remainder of the cohort (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This is one of the largest studies describing clinically significant postoperative pathology after SG. AMAG, in particular, is of particular importance as it is associated with a 3-fivefold increase in risk for gastric cancer. The incidence of significant postoperative pathology in this population is small but potentially clinically significant and requires validation in larger studies. We recommend wider sampling in preoperative endoscopy (body and antrum), especially in patients being planned for gastric bypass, consideration for routine pathological examination of SG surgical specimens, with careful gross examination and targeted sampling.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery (BS) patients are advised to consume protein supplements to prevent fat-free mass (FFM) loss. However, limited research has explored the efficacy of diverse protein presentations on FFM preservation. This study assesses if short peptide-based (SPB) supplements surpass complex protein-based (CPB) supplements in reducing early FFM loss post-surgery. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, 138 patients who underwent BS other than Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB) between January 2021 and March 2021 at the Department of Bariatric Surgery of the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu were included for analysis. Patients were divided into two groups based on their consumption of protein supplements after surgery: SPB group and CPB group. Multiple linear regressions separated by sex were employed to examine the associations between SPB supplements and FFM loss and percentage of FFM (%FFM) loss, respectively. RESULTS Among participants, 69.6% were female, with a mean age of 33.3 years. In multiple linear regression analyses, SPB supplements were significantly and positively associated with a lower FFM loss in both female (ꞵ = - 1.14, P = 0.047) and male (ꞵ = - 2.36, P = 0.024), and were positively associated with a lower %FFM loss in both female (ꞵ = - 1.83) and male (ꞵ = - 2.26) but only significant in male (P = 0.049). CONCLUSION SPB supplements may be more effective in preventing early FFM loss after BS, compared to CPB supplements, particularly among male patients. Therefore, SPB supplements may be recommended to patients undergoing BS. Further research is needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE A potential complication of bariatric surgery is development of nutritional deficiencies. Study aims were to assess prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in preoperative bariatric patients and to examine for ethnic differences. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 573 patients that underwent bariatric surgery at Counties Manukau District Health Board was carried out. Mean preoperative levels of albumin, calcium, phosphate, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium, haemoglobin, haematocrit, mean cell volume, mean cell haemoglobin, ferritin, iron, and transferrin were calculated. Chi square, fisher exact test, and multiple logistic regression was used to assess for differences in prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies across ethnicities. RESULTS The most common micronutrient deficiency was vitamin D (30.85%). There were statistically significant differences in vitamin D deficiency across ethnicities (p < 0.0001). Asians had the highest prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (60%), followed by Pacifica (44.57%), and Māori (31.68%). Asians were more likely to have vitamin D deficiency compared to NZ/Other Europeans (OR = 14.93, p < 0.001). Vitamin D deficiency was associated with higher BMI (OR = 1.05, p = 0.008). The second most common deficiency was iron (21.1%). Asians had the highest prevalence of iron deficiency (44%), followed by Māori (27.95%), and Pacifica (19.57%) (p = 0.0064). Compared to NZ/Other Europeans, Asians (OR = 4.26) and Māori (OR = 1.78) were more likely to be iron deficient (p = 0.004). Female gender was associated with iron deficiency (OR = 2.12, p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Vitamin D and iron are the most common micronutrient deficiencies among preoperative bariatric patients in this cohort and ethnic differences were seen. There may be a role for preoperative supplementation in these at-risk ethnic groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the evidence on the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and PubMed databases. Meta-analysis utilized odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to analyze the correlation between MBS and the risk of EAC. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA software (version 12.0). RESULTS Fourteen studies involving patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery and control groups receiving conventional treatment were included. The meta-analysis indicated a reduction in the overall incidence of esophageal cancer after bariatric surgery (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.51-0.95, P = 0.022). Subgroup analysis results demonstrated a decreased risk of EAC in European patients with obesity undergoing MBS treatment (OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.38-0.95, P = 0.028). In studies with a sample size greater than or equal to 100,000 patients, the risk of EAC in patients with obesity undergoing MBS was significantly lower than the non-surgery group (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.42-0.83, P = 0.003). Articles published before 2020 and those published in 2020 or earlier showed a significant difference in the incidence of EAC between the surgery and non-surgery groups (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.43-0.75, P < 0.001). The risk of EAC in patients with obesity with a follow-up time of less than 5 years was statistically significant (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.25-0.82, P = 0.009). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis results suggest a reduced risk of esophageal cancer in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery. PROSPERO REGISTRATION CRD 42024505177.

Abstract
This umbrella review amalgamates the outcomes of economic evaluations pertaining to bariatric surgeries, pharmacotherapy, and gastric balloon for adult obesity treatment. Six databases were systematically searched. The inclusion criteria were established following the Patient/population Intervention Comparison and Outcomes (PICO) statement. Fifteen reviews met all the inclusion criteria. Eight studies focused on surgical interventions, four on pharmacotherapy, and three on both interventions. No systematic review of the economic evaluation of gastric balloons was identified. The majority of reviews advocated bariatric surgery as a cost-effective approach; however, there was discordance in the interpretation of pharmacological cost-effectiveness. Most of the economic evaluations were conducted from the payer and the healthcare system perspectives. We propose that future economic evaluations assessing weight loss interventions in adults adopt a societal perspective and longer-term time horizons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is an increasing problem, even in young women of reproductive age. Obesity has a negative impact on conception, the course of pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes. Caring for obese pregnant women has becoming an important aspect of standard prenatal care. The Guideline "Obesity and Pregnancy" of the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics aims to create evidence-based recommendations which can be used to improve the care of obese pregnant women. As obesity is a worldwide problem, many societies for obstetrics and gynecology have created national guidelines. METHODS We reviewed the following guidelines for obesity and pregnancy: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) 2021, Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (RCOG) 2018; AND Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) 2019. These guidelines were compared to the German guideline. RESULTS There are some variations between the guidelines, though no major contradictions exist. Disparities were found regarding the recommendations for substitution of high folic acid and Vitamin D. Furthermore, the recommended time for screening for gestational diabetes and the methods to control fetal growth differ between the guidelines. Regarding place of birth, RCOG allows delivery in midwifery-led units in the absence of other high-risk circumstances, while others request facility of care by neonatologists and medical staff trained in care of obese women. Induction of labor at term due to increased risk of intrauterine demise is mostly limited to women with a body mass index of 40 kg/m2. Only one guideline considers induction of all obese women. For intrapartum management, the majority allows tolerating of longer labor times to delivery if fetal monitoring is sufficient and fetal stress is excluded. Special encouragement of breastfeeding and healthy lifestyle is commonly recommended; only in the Canadian guideline, postpartum depression evaluation is requested due to the overall high prevalence of depression and anxiety in obese women. CONCLUSION All guidelines consider pregnancies in obese women as high-risk pregnancies and emphasize the need for preconception counseling. There are special needs in pregnancy care and in the intrapartum and postpartum management to be observed.

Abstract
Addressing suboptimal weight loss post-bariatric surgery poses a challenge. While glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) show promise in managing obesity, their role as an adjuvant treatment after bariatric surgery remains uncertain. We conducted a systematic literature review focused on the efficacy and safety of GLP1-RA in bariatric surgery patients with insufficient weight loss or distant weight regain. Our literature search identified 1167 articles, with 10 (involving 594 patients) meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria for detailed review. GLP1-RA therapy resulted in 5 to 17% weight loss over 6 to 12 months, with 10-50% experiencing non-severe side effects like nausea. Overall, GLP1-RA emerges as an effective adjuvant therapy for patients experiencing inadequate weight loss or regain after bariatric surgery, offering a viable alternative to revision surgery.

Abstract
Obesity is a global health issue that has grown to epidemic proportions. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), overweight and obesity are responsible for more than 1.2 million deaths in Europe each year, representing > 13% of the region's total mortality. Highly processed, calorie-dense foods and reduced physical activity are considered as primary drivers of obesity, but genetic predisposition also plays a significant role. Notably, obesity is more prevalent in women than in men in most countries, and several obesity-related comorbidities exhibit sex-specific pathways. Treatment indication depends on BMI (body mass index), as well as existing comorbidities and risk factors. To reduce obesity-associated comorbidities, a permanent reduction in body weight of (at least) 5-10% is recommended. Treatment guidelines suggest an escalating stepwise approach including lifestyle intervention, pharmacotherapy, and bariatric-metabolic surgery. As cumulative evidence suggests differences in weight loss outcomes, there is growing interest in sex-specific considerations in obesity management. However, most trials do not report weight loss or changes in body composition separately for women and men. Here, we discuss state-of-the-art obesity management and focus on current data about the impact of sex on weight loss outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the importance of fibrosis in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), identifying biochemical and histopathological aspects associated with its severity is important to determine the course of disease in high-risk populations. OBJECTIVES The study aims to investigate correlations between biochemical and histopathological variables associated with the occurrence and severity of NAFLD-related liver fibrosis in individuals with obesity. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study which enrolled 171 individuals who underwent bariatric surgery at a tertiary university hospital. Clinical, laboratory, and histopathological hepatic characteristics were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to identify factors associated with the outcomes studied (severity of fibrosis staging) through simple and multiple regression models. RESULTS Female were 87.7%, and the mean age was 38.4 ± 9.3 years. The most common histopathological abnormalities were macrovesicular steatosis (74.9%) and hepatocellular ballooning (40.4%). In the histopathological univariate analysis, liver fibrosis significantly correlated with severities of microvesicular steatosis (p = 0.003), lobular inflammation (p = 0.001), and NAS (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the degrees of microvesicular steatosis (p < 0.001) and NAS (p < 0.001) independently correlated with fibrosis severity. In the univariate biochemical analysis, fibrosis severity significantly correlated with levels of hemoglobin A1c (p = 0.004) and glucose (p = 0.01). In the multivariate analysis, glucose levels independently correlated with liver fibrosis degree (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Significant and independent associations were observed between the intensities of microvesicular steatosis, NAS, and glucose levels and the severity degree of liver fibrosis in individuals with obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) can alter the pharmacokinetics of drugs, post-bariatric surgery patients may require medication adjustments and monitoring. To improve pharmacotherapy in these patients, we aimed to understand the beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and concerns of healthcare professionals who treat these patients. METHODS A survey by means of an online questionnaire was divided into six sections. It was sent to bariatric surgeons, internists, pharmacists, and general practitioners in the Netherlands. RESULTS Out of 229 returned surveys, 222 were included. Virtually all respondents (98%) expected MBS to influence the effect of medication. Both reduced efficacy (23%) and more adverse events or medication-related complications (21%) were recognized. Two-thirds of the respondents felt competent to prescribe or to provide advice regarding medication in post-bariatric surgery patients. Most of the respondents (95%) believed that other healthcare professionals should be aware of the contraindication "bariatric surgery". Of the respondents, 37% indicated that they were not aware of the medication advice incorporated in the electronic health record systems. Almost half of the respondents (48%) indicated that they documented changes in drug effects. Most respondents answered that these ought to be registered in the pharmacovigilance database or national registry. CONCLUSIONS The majority of prescribers and pharmacists believe that patients will receive better pharmacotherapy if healthcare professionals take MBS into account. However, not all prescribers think they are competent to act adequately. To improve this, information on changed drug effects after MBS should be more widely shared among healthcare professionals via resources that are easily accessible.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adapting and validating the Portuguese version of Br-YFAS 2.0-Obes to allow it to be used by the Brazilian candidates for bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 329 individuals with body mass indexes (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, candidates for bariatric surgery at a reference hospital in Brazil. They were given a questionnaire that identified sociodemographic data, and the YFAS 2.0 scale, Portuguese version (BR-YFAS2.0-Obes), was applied to assess their food dependence levels. The Food Craving Questionnaire - Trait: The FCQ-T-reduced was subsequently used for a correlation analysis. RESULTS The patients' average BMI was 41.6 ± 8.8 kg/m2. Br-YFAS2.0-Obes presented an average of 4.9 ± 3.1 for the FA diagnostic criteria. The resulting values of the Comparative Fit Index, Tucker Lewis Index, and Standardized Root Mean Square Residual were 0.990, 0.986, and 0.074, respectively. The internal consistency analysis of the 11 domains presented a Kuder-Richardson α of 0.82. The convergent validity, obtained through an analysis of the Pearson correlation coefficient, was r = 0.43 (p < 0.001). It was found that an increase in the number of Br-YFAS 2.0-Obes symptoms is associated with an increase in the FCQ-T-r mean. CONCLUSION Much like the YFAS 2.0 in other languages, the BR-YFAS 2.0-Obes presented adequate convergent validity, reliability, and one-factor structure results, which makes it suitable for Brazilian candidates for bariatric surgery or any individual who is within BMI > = 30 kg/m2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and chronic pain (CP) represent serious, interrelated global public health concerns that have a profound impact on individuals and society. Bariatric surgery is increasing in popularity and has been proven safe and efficacious, providing long-term weight loss and improvements in many obesity-related co-morbidities. A decrease in CP is often a motivation for bariatric surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in CP postoperatively and to examine the relationship between psychosocial measures and pain. METHODS A total of 155 adult bariatric surgery patients were recruited and completed self-report measures for CP severity and interference, neuropathic pain, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation and perceived social support at three timepoints preoperative and 6 and 12 months postoperative. RESULTS Pain significantly decreased between preoperative and postoperative timepoints, and preoperative pain was the most significant predictor of postoperative pain. Preoperative CP was correlated with anxiety (p < 0.05) and depression (p < 0.01) at 6 months postoperatively and perceived social support (p < 0.01) at 1 year postoperatively. However, regression analyses with psychological variables were not significant. CONCLUSION CP decreases after bariatric surgery, but further research with larger sample sizes is needed to establish whether psychosocial characteristics impact this outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Less than 50% of eligible candidates who are referred complete Bariatric Metabolic Surgery (BMS). The factors influencing the decision to complete BMS, particularly how these factors vary across different racial and ethnic groups, remain largely unexplored. METHODS This prospective cohort study included adult patients referred to a bariatric surgeon or obesity medicine program between July 2019-September 2022. Sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI), anxiety, depression, body appreciation, and patient-physician relationship information were collected via survey and electronic health records. The association between BMS completion and potential decision-driving factors was examined using Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis. RESULTS A total of 406 BMS -eligible patients participated in the study (mean [SD] age: 47.5 [11.6] years; 87.2% women; 18.0% Hispanic, 39% non-Hispanic Black [NHB], and 39% non-Hispanic White [NHW]; mean [SD] BMI: 45.9 [10.1] kg/m2). A total of 147 participants (36.2%) completed BMS. Overall, the most influential factor driving the decision to complete BMS was younger age (< 68.4 years), higher patient satisfaction, and BMI (≥ 38.0 kg/m2). Hispanic participants prioritized age (< 55.4 years), female sex, and body appreciation. For NHB participants, the highest ranked factors were age < 56.3 years, BMI ≥ 35.8 kg/m2, and higher patient satisfaction. For NHW patients, the most influential factors were age (39.1 to 68.6 years) and higher body appreciation. CONCLUSION These 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.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity is rising among people with HIV (PLWH), sparking interest in bariatric surgery (BS) for this group. Yet, large-scale comparative research on BS outcomes in PLWH is lacking. METHODS We performed a retrospective, matched cohort analysis in PLWH and HIV uninfected controls. Subjects were retrieved from the Dutch Audit for Treatment of Obesity (DATO) registry. Matching (1:7 ratio) included age (± 5-years), sex, body-mass index (BMI) of ± 3 kg/m2, surgery type, and associated health problems (AHPs) at baseline. The primary endpoint was total weight loss percentage (%TWL) ≥ 20% achieved at 1-year post-BS. Secondary endpoints were cumulative %TWL achieved at 2-years post-BS, a reported remission or improvement in AHPs post-BS, and surgical complications, both at 1-year post-BS. Comparisons were performed using conditional logistic regression. RESULTS Twenty-seven PLWH and 168 controls were included. At 1-year post-BS, 89% PLWH achieved ≥ 20%TWL, compared to 94% of controls (p = 0.4). Cumulative %TWL at 2-years post-BS were 82% and 92% in PLWH and controls, respectively (p = 0.2). Improvement rates in hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus were 50% and 86% in PLWH, versus 87% and 87% in controls. Full remission occurred in 20% and 71% of PLHIV, versus 49% and 44% of controls, respectively. No improvement or remission was observed for dyslipidaemia in PLHIV compared to 54% improvement and 29% remission in controls. Surgical complications were 0% in PLHIV and 13% (n = 21) in controls. CONCLUSION Efficacy and safety outcomes of BS were similar between PLWH and controls except for the lack of improvement in dyslipidaemia in PLWH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is characterised by the confluence of muscle deterioration and high adiposity. When non-surgical interventions prove insufficient, bariatric surgery (BS) becomes the primary approach. This study aimed to address BS effects on SO outcomes 1 year post-surgery among middle-aged women, also considering physical exercise's impact. METHODS Prospective single-centre study of 140 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy between November 2019 and December 2022. Participants were categorised into tertiles according to SO's diagnosis and severity (group 1-patients with the most severe SO; group 2-intermediate; group 3-the least severe or without SO), calculated considering the consensus issued by ESPEN and EASO in 2022. Evaluations of clinical and biochemical parameters were conducted before and 12 months after BS, and the variation was used for comparative purposes. Body composition was assessed using bone density scans. Linear regression analysis accounted for both surgery type and baseline body mass index (BMI). RESULTS Before BS, SO prevalence in the overall sample was 89.3%, decreasing to 2.9% after BS. Group 1 had more body fat mass (56.9 vs 54.8 vs 50.7 kg, p < 0.001), total, trunk and leg fat at baseline and a significantly lower total skeletal muscle mass (47.2 vs 49.4 vs 51.8 kg, p < 0.001). One year post-BS, group 1 presented more weight loss (- 39.8 ± 11.4 kg, p = 0.031), BMI reduction (- 15.9 ± 4.6 kg/m2, p = 0.005) and lost more fat mass (- 32.6 vs - 30.5 vs - 27.9 kg, p = 0.005), but not total skeletal muscle mass (- 5.8 vs - 5.9 vs - 6.8 kg, p = 0.130). Remission rates for comorbidities were substantial among all groups, but more marked among patients within group 1 (type 2 diabetes mellitus 75%, hypertension 47.1% and dyslipidemia 52.8%). Engagement in physical exercise of any kind has increased post-BS (33.1% vs 79.1%). CONCLUSION Despite concerns about malabsorptive mechanisms potentially worsening muscle loss, patients with the most severe SO undergoing BS lost more fat mass while experiencing the smallest reduction in total skeletal muscle mass. Remission rates for comorbidities following BS were notable among all groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant number of patients face the issue of weight gain (WG) or inadequate weight loss (IWL) post-bariatric surgery for obesity. Several studies have been published evaluating the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) for weight loss post-bariatric surgery. However, no systematic review and meta-analysis (SRM) till date has evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of GLP1RA in this clinical scenario. Hence, this SRM aimed to address this knowledge gap. METHODS Databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), case-control, cohort and observational studies involving use of GLP1RA in the intervention arm post-bariatric surgery. Primary outcome was weight loss post at least 3 months of therapy. Secondary outcomes were evaluation of body composition parameters, total adverse events (TAEs) and severe adverse events (SAEs). RESULTS From initially screened 1759 articles, 8 studies (557 individuals) were analysed. Compared to placebo, patients receiving liraglutide had significantly greater weight loss after 6-month therapy [MD - 6.0 kg (95% CI, - 8.66 to - 3.33); P < 0.001; I2 = 79%]. Compared to liraglutide, semaglutide had significantly greater percent reduction in body weight after 6-month [MD - 2.57% (95% CI, - 3.91 to - 1.23); P < 0.001; I2 = 0%] and 12-month [MD - 4.15% (95% CI, - 6.96 to - 1.34); P = 0.004] therapy. In study by Murvelashvili et al. (2023), after 12-month therapy, semaglutide had significantly higher rates of achieving > 15% [OR 2.15 (95% CI, 1.07-4.33); P = 0.03; n = 207] and > 10% [OR 2.10 (95% CI, 1.19-3.71); P = 0.01; n = 207] weight loss. A significant decrease in fat mass [MD - 4.78 kg (95% CI, - 7.11 to - 2.45); P < 0.001], lean mass [MD - 3.01 kg (95% CI, - 4.80 to - 1.22); P = 0.001] and whole-body bone mineral density [MD - 0.02 kg/m2 (95% CI, - 0.04 to - 0.00); P = 0.03] was noted with liraglutide. CONCLUSION Current data is encouraging regarding use of GLP1RAs for managing WG or IWL post-bariatric surgery. Deterioration of bone health and muscle mass remains a concern needing further evaluation. TRIAL REGISTRATION The predefined protocol has been registered in PROSPERO having registration number of CRD42023473991.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined the benefits of an 11-months multicomponent exercise program (MEP) on muscular strength (MS) after bariatric surgery. METHODS Of the 84 randomized patients, 41 participants from the exercise group (EG) and 20 participants from the control group (CG) were included in the analysis. The EG received supervised MEP for 11 months, starting 1-month post-bariatric surgery (BS) in addition to standard medical care, while the CG received medical care recommendations only. Knee and trunk MS was assessed by isokinetic dynamometry pre-surgery, 1-, 6-, and 12-month post-surgery, while body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS The MEP did not significantly impact absolute MS in the dominant knee and trunk regions at 6- and 12-month post-BS. However, relative MS showed significant improvements. At 6-month post-BS, knee flexion at 60°/s relative to body weight (BW) increased significantly (p = 0.047), as did knee extension at 180°/s relative to BW (p = 0.009), and knee extension at 60°/s relative to total lean mass (p=0.040). At 12-month post-BS, knee flexion at 60°/s relative to BW also significantly improved (p=0.038). CONCLUSION While absolute MS was not significantly improved with MEP, this study found significant enhancements in relative MS, particularly in dominant knee flexion post-MEP participation. Further research should explore different exercise intensities and frequencies to optimize postoperative MS recovery post-BS. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02843048).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a widely recognized bariatric procedure that is particularly beneficial for patients with class III obesity. It aids in significant weight loss and improves obesity-related medical conditions. Despite its effectiveness, postoperative care still has challenges. Clinical evidence shows that venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of 30-d morbidity and mortality after RYGB. Therefore, a clear unmet need exists for a tailored risk assessment tool for VTE in RYGB candidates.
AIM To develop and internally validate a scoring system determining the individualized risk of 30-d VTE in patients undergoing RYGB.
METHODS Using the 2016–2021 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation Quality Improvement Program, data from 6526 patients (body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2) who underwent RYGB were analyzed. A backward elimination multivariate analysis identified predictors of VTE characterized by pulmonary embolism and/or deep venous thrombosis within 30 d of RYGB. The resultant risk scores were derived from the coefficients of statistically significant variables. The performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating curves through 5-fold cross-validation.
RESULTS Of the 26 initial variables, six predictors were identified. These included a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a regression coefficient (Coef) of 2.54 (P < 0.001), length of stay (Coef 0.08, P < 0.001), prior deep venous thrombosis (Coef 1.61, P < 0.001), hemoglobin A1c > 7% (Coef 1.19, P < 0.001), venous stasis history (Coef 1.43, P < 0.001), and preoperative anticoagulation use (Coef 1.24, P < 0.001). These variables were weighted according to their regression coefficients in an algorithm that was generated for the model predicting 30-d VTE risk post-RYGB. The risk model's area under the curve (AUC) was 0.79 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.63-0.81], showing good discriminatory power, achieving a sensitivity of 0.60 and a specificity of 0.91. Without training, the same model performed satisfactorily in patients with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with an AUC of 0.63 (95%CI: 0.62-0.64) and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty with an AUC of 0.76 (95%CI: 0.75-0.78).
CONCLUSION This simple risk model uses only six variables to assist clinicians in the preoperative risk stratification of RYGB patients, offering insights into factors that heighten the risk of VTE events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective treatment for severe obesity and it has beneficial effects on glycemic control and metabolism outcomes. However, the effects of BS on nutritional outcomes are controversial. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the changes in several nutritional outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHODS A comprehensive search was performed using the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, WanFang and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure. The following outcomes were evaluated: vitamin A, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], calcium, phosphorus, parathormone (PTH), iron, ferritin, vitamin B12, folate, and zinc. The pooled outcomes were expressed as standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using a random effects model. RESULTS Fifty-six studies including 5645 individuals with obesity met the inclusion criteria. Serum 25(OH)D (SMD = 0.78, 95%CI 0.38 to 1.20, P < 0.001), phosphorus (SMD = 0.48, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.74, P < 0.001), PTH (SMD = 0.35, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.59, P = 0.005), vitamin B12 (SMD = 1.11, 95%CI 0.41 to 1.80, P = 0.002), and folate (SMD = 1.53, 95%CI 0.77 to 2.28, P < 0.001) significantly increased after RYGB compared with the baseline. Serum ferritin (SMD = - 1.67, 95%CI - 2.57 to - 0.77, P < 0.001), vitamin A (SMD = - 0.64, 95%CI - 0.99 to - 0.29, P < 0.001), and plasma zinc (SMD = - 0.58, 95%CI - 1.09 to - 0.06, P = 0.027) significantly decreased after RYGB. No significant changes in serum calcium (SMD = - 0.14, 95%CI - 0.40 to 0.11, P = 0.219) and iron (SMD = 0.26, 95%CI - 0.11 to 0.64, P = 0.165) were observed after RYGB. CONCLUSIONS Despite the increased levels of 25(OH)D, phosphorus, vitamin B12 and folate, this meta-analysis revealed the unfavorable nutritional consequences after RYGB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Night-Eating Syndrome (NES) is a complex eating disorder that has gained recognition in the context of bariatric surgery. However, its prevalence and associated factors in this specific patient population remain understudied, particularly in the Saudi Arabian context. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from June to November 2022. Adult patients who had undergone bariatric surgery with a postoperative follow-up of 6 months were included. NES was assessed using the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ). RESULTS A total of 154 patients were enrolled in the study, with a mean age of 38.8 ± 11.4 years. The mean BMI before surgery was 44.8 ± 8.2 kg/m2, which reduced to 28.9 ± 5.8 kg/m2 post-surgery. Of these, 52 patients (33.8%) met the criteria for NES based on NEQ scores. The prevalence of NES was significantly higher among female patients, with 35 out of 83 females (42.2%) compared to 17 out of 71 males (23.9%) experiencing NES. While NES was not significantly associated with age, nationality, diet adherence, BMI, or surgery type, chronic diseases-particularly diabetes-emerged as significant risk factors for NES in post-bariatric surgery patients. CONCLUSION NES is a prevalent concern among post-bariatric surgery patients, with distinct associations with gender and chronic diseases, particularly diabetes. This study provides valuable insights into NES prevalence and its risk factors in the Saudi Arabian context, highlighting the importance of addressing eating disorders within the framework of bariatric surgery care.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a strong association between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and obesity which are both important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The current study aimed to assess the association of MBS with different CVDs in patients with MASLD. MATERIALS AND METHODS The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed by using ICD-10 codes. A propensity score matching in a 1:1 ratio was done to match the MBS and non-MBS groups. RESULTS After weighted analysis, 1,124,155 and 68,215 patients were included in non-MBS and MBS groups, respectively. MBS was associated with significantly lower risk of hospitalization for coronary artery disease (OR 0.633 (0.569-0.703), p value < 0.001), acute myocardial infarction (OR 0.606 (0.523-0.701), p value < 0.001), percutaneous coronary intervention (OR 0.578 (0.489-0.682), p value < 0.001), and thrombolysis (OR 0.765 (0.589-0.993), p value = 0.044) compared to the non-MBS group in patients with MASLD. Furthermore, MBS was associated with 52% reduced risk of hospitalization for hemorrhagic stroke in patients with MASLD (OR 0.481, 95% CI 0.337-0.686, p value < 0.001). However, ischemic stroke was not significant between the two groups (OR 1.108 (0.905-1.356), p value = 0.322). In addition, MBS was associated with 63% and 60% reduced risk of hospitalization for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with MASLD (OR 0.373, 95% CI 0.300-0.465 and OR 0.405, 95% CI 0.325-0.504, p value < 0.001 for both), respectively. CONCLUSION The current study showed that MBS is significantly associated with a reduced risk of hospitalization for CVD in patients with MASLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of current pharmacological treatment after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is limited. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after LSG remains high. Auricular acupressure (AA) is believed to relieve PONV after laparoscopic surgeries, but its role in patients with obesity after LSG has yet to be confirmed. METHODS Ninety-five female patients who underwent LSG were randomized into two groups: AA combined with conventional anti-nausea medication (AA group, 47 patients) or conventional anti-nausea medication group (control group, 48 patients). Index of nausea and vomiting and retching (INVR) scores, postoperative anti-vomiting medication use, time of first anus exhausting, time of first fluid intake, and time of first to get out of bed were collected within 48 h after surgery. RESULTS Demographic data of patients in both groups were balanced and comparable. INVR score (F = 7.505, P = 0.007), vomiting score (F = 11.903, P = 0.001), and retching score (F = 12.098, P = 0.001) were significantly lower in the AA group than that in the control group within 48 h postoperatively. Use of metoclopramide was significantly less in the AA group than in the control group (4.7 [5.5]) vs. 8.8 [7.6], P = 0.004); time to first anus exhausting was significantly less in the AA group than in the control group (17.50 [6.00] vs. 20.42 [8.62], P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS AA combined with conventional anti-vomiting agents can alleviate PONV in female patients after LSG, and AA can promote gastrointestinal exhaustion. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial has been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) with the registration no. ChiCTR2100047381 on June 13, 2021.

Abstract
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is crucial for significant weight reduction and treating obesity-related issues. However, the impact of gastrojejunostomy (GJ) anastomosis diameter on weight loss remains unclear. We investigate this influence on post-RYGB weight loss outcomes. A systematic search was conducted. Six studies met the inclusion criteria, showing varied GJ diameters and follow-up durations (1-5 years). Smaller GJ diameters generally correlated with greater short-to-medium-term weight loss, with a threshold beyond which complications like stenosis increased. Studies had moderate-to-low bias risk, emphasizing the need for precise GJ area quantification post-operation. This review highlights a negative association between smaller GJ diameters and post-RYGB weight loss, advocating for standardized measurement techniques. Future research should explore intra-operative and AI-driven methods for optimizing GJ diameter determination.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative changes in gut microbiota may occur in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. In this study, we evaluate the impact of administering probiotic tablets on the gastrointestinal function and metabolic status of these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This double-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted from 2021 to 2022 on 135 Roux-en-Y surgery candidates. The intervention group underwent the surgical procedure and started receiving probiotic supplements (Familact Co.) 1 week after surgery; the control group received a placebo. The laboratory and anthropometric data were measured and analyzed before and 3 and 6 months after the intervention. GIQLI questionnaire was also used at the beginning and 6 months after the intervention to evaluate GI symptoms. RESULTS We observed significantly reduced BMI in both groups after surgeries (P < 0.001). The levels of FBS and HbA1C were significantly lower in the probiotic group compared to the placebo in 3 months (P = 0.02 and P = 0.001, respectively) and 6 months (P < 0.001 for both) after the intervention. The levels of vitamin B12 increased significantly in the probiotic group (P < 0.001), and the values were substantially higher than the placebo group in 3 and 6 months (P < 0.001), respectively. Analysis of the GIQLI questionnaire before and 6 months after interventions also revealed significant improvement in the GIQLI score in both groups (P < 0.001 for probiotics and P = 0.03 for placebo). CONCLUSION Probiotic supplement administration following RYGB improves patients' vitamin and metabolic profile, as well as GI function, although it cannot significantly affect weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a relatively new bariatric procedure with lower morbidity and mortality than other weight loss surgeries. The predictive values of preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy for detecting histopathological abnormalities prior to sleeve gastrectomy have not been clearly described. This study aimed to determine the negative predictive value of preoperative endoscopic biopsies for detecting Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and other pathological findings. METHODS This cross-sectional study examined 102 patients who underwent vertical sleeve gastrectomy from January 2023 to November 2023. Preoperative histopathology of esophagogastroduodenoscopy specimens was compared to postoperative ones for H. pylori infection, gastritis, atrophy, and metaplasia. Moreover, gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms were postoperatively followed for 6 months. RESULTS The negative predictive value of preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy for detecting H. pylori infection, gastritis, metaplasia and atrophy were 95 %, 79 %, 93 %, and 98 %, respectively. In an overall view, for all pathologies, the negative predictive value was 53.4 %. Moderate gastritis and focal metaplasia were significantly underdiagnosed preoperatively (p < 0.001). H. pylori infection and focal metaplasia were significantly more prevalent in females after surgery (p < 0.001). H. pylori infection and gastritis were positively correlated with increased postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Preoperative endoscopy has a high negative predictive value for detecting H. pylori infection, atrophy, and metaplasia but has suboptimal values for gastritis.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial disease, which is closely related to obesity. This study evaluated the efficacy of bariatric surgery on obesity complicated with PCOS through meta-analysis. PubMed, Cochrane, EMbase, and WOS databases were searched from 2012 to November 2022. Studies on the efficacy of bariatric surgery in the treatment of obesity combined with PCOS were included. Outcome indicators included menstrual abnormalities, BMI, free testosterone, hypertrichosis, and ovarian volume. Methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated, and statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Finally, 9 studies were included, and the results of meta-analysis were as follows: After weight loss surgery, menstrual irregularity decreased (RR = -0.83, 95%CI:-1.00∼-0.65, P < 0.00001), and BMI decreased significantly (MD = -13.64, 95%CI:-16.29∼-10.99, P < 0.00001). Free testosterone levels decreased (MD = -22.70, 95 % CI: -36.07 ∼ -9.34, P < 0.00001), the incidence of hypertrichosis decreased (RR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.45-0.88, p = 0.007 < 0.01), and the ovarian volume decreased (MD = -3.09, 5%CI: -5.76 ∼ -0.42, P < 0.00001).

Abstract
One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has gained importance as a safe and effective operation to treat morbid obesity. It is not known whether a long biliopancreatic limb (BPL) in OAGB surgery compared to a short BPL results in beneficial metabolic outcomes. 5-week-old male C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks underwent OAGB surgery with defined short and long BPL lengths, or sham surgery combined with caloric restriction. Weight loss, glucose tolerance, obesity-related comorbidities, endocrine effects, gut microbiota and bile acids were assessed. Total weight loss was independent of the length of the BPL after OAGB surgery. However, a long BPL was associated with lower glucose-stimulated insulin on day 14, and an improved glucose tolerance on day 35 after surgery. A long BPL resulted in reduced total cholesterol. There were no differences in the resolution of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and adipose tissue inflammation. Tendencies of an attenuated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and aldosterone were present in the long BPL group. In OAGB-operated mice, we found an increase in primary conjugated bile acids (pronounced in long BPL) along with a loss in bacterial Desulfovibrionaceae and Erysipelotrichaceae and simultaneous increase in Akkermansiaceae, Sutterellaceae and Enterobacteriaceae. In sum, OAGB surgery with a long compared to a short BPL led to similar weight loss, but improved glucose metabolism, lipid and endocrine outcomes in obese mice, potentially mediated through changes in gut microbiota and related bile acids. Tailoring the BPL length in humans might help to optimize metabolic outcomes after bariatric surgery.
