Article Synopsis
- The study investigates dietary intake among Indian patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent bariatric surgeries (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and duodeno-jejunal bypass) due to rising obesity and diabetes rates in India.
- Conducted with 64 patients over a 12-month period, the research utilized a 24-hour dietary recall method to collect data pre- and post-surgery, highlighting significant changes in dietary habits.
- Results showed both surgical groups experienced notable weight loss and improved blood sugar levels, particularly the DJB-SG group, with a considerable reduction in calorie-dense foods and essential nutrients such as iron and vitamins post-surgery.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) on the Quality of Life (QoL) among obese Indian patients over a 10-year period.
- Data from 2132 patients revealed significant improvements in QoL, with 'very good' scores observed at 1, 3, and 7 years, and 'good' scores at 5 and 10 years, correlating with reductions in body mass index (BMI).
- The findings suggest that MBS leads to sustained enhancements in QoL among individuals suffering from obesity, highlighting the importance of these outcomes in healthcare decision-making.
Background: Complications after bariatric surgery are not uncommon occurrences that influence the choice of operations both by patients and by surgeons. Complications may be classified as intra-operative, early (<30 days post-operatively) or late (beyond 30 days). The prevalence of complications is influenced by the sample size, surgeon's experience and length and percentage of follow-up.
