Nearly all morbidly obese patients with satisfactory postoperative weight loss experience substantial improvement in the quality of their lives. Improved health status is characterized by increased exercise tolerance and improvement or resolution of obesity-related comorbidities. Improvement of obesity-related medical problems (discussed in the article

Diagnostic tools for post‐gastric bypass hypoglycaemia
Obesity Reviews, 2015 In spite of its evident success, several late complications can occur after gastric bypass surgery. One of these is post-gastric bypass hypoglycaemia. No evidence-based guidelines exist in the literature on how to confirm the presence of this syndrome ...

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) has a considerable failure rate. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is one of the rescue options. This study aims to compare the complication rates and outcomes between LAGB converted to LRYGB and primary LRYGB.A retrospective analysis was performed in all patients converted from LAGB to LRYGB ...

Conversion of proximal to distal gastric bypass for failed gastric bypass for superobesity
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 1997The purpose of this study was to analyze outcome following malabsorptive distal gastric bypass (D-GBP) in superobese patients who were reoperated for recurrent obesity comorbidity after a failed standard gastric bypass (S-GBP). Twenty-seven formerly superobese patients with a failed S-GBP converted to a D-GBP were studied.

Conversion of Jejunoileal Bypass to Gastric Bypass
Archives of Surgery, 1981To the Editor .–I would like to echo Dr Wright's editorial comments regarding the article by Griffen et al, "Experiences With Conversion of Jejunoileal Bypass to Gastric Bypass" (Archives1981;116:320-324). Dr Griffen and his associates appropriately warn that patients undergoing takedown of jejunoileal bypass (JIB) will almost invariably regain weight ...

Access to the Bypassed Stomach after Gastric Bypass
Obesity Surgery, 1998The gastric bypass (GBP) Operation is progressively being widely used to treat severe obesity. One problem with this operation is that it leaves the bypassed segment of the gastrointestinal tract not readily available for either mechanical, radiological or endoscopic evaluation.

Metabolic Outcomes of Gastric Bypass
Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2003Gastric bypass surgery may be the most successful treatment for morbid obesity. However, postoperative patients are susceptible to deficiencies of several nutrients, including iron, vitamin B12, and folate. Careful monitoring and supplementation are recommended to prevent negative outcomes of nutrient deficiencies. Metabolic benefits, on the other hand,

Two patients underwent gastric bypasses and had uneventful hospital courses. In the early postoperative periods, both developed severe, protracted vomiting, weakness, and hyporeflexia. After thorough laboratory and clinical evaluations by neurologists, the patients were diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, although there were many atypical features.

Gastric-bypass-induced pneumothorax
Gastrointestinal Radiology, 1985Substernal gastric bypass has been recently revived to palliate unresectable esophageal carcinoma. We report an unusual postoperative complication of gastric bypass: recurrent pneumothorax responding to nasogastric tube decompression of a distended thoracic stomach.

Gastric bypass in morbid obesity
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1980Gastric operations for the treatment of morbid obesity have been standardized. They require close adherence to specifications for success. The upper stomach volume should be measured intraoperatively and fashioned to a capacity of 50 ml at a pressure of 25 to 30 cm of saline. The outlet should be no larger than 12 mm in diameter.
