Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy is a good treatment intervention to control the metabolic syndrome in patients with obesity worldwide.

- * Most participants (88% women, average age 45) experienced significant weight loss, with a mean decrease in body mass index (BMI) of 12 kg/m2 after surgery, predominantly involving sleeve gastrectomy.
- * Findings indicated that getting a new job after surgery was not influenced by BMI, gender, or age, but showed a positive correlation between improved social life scores and successful weight loss, highlighting the role of social integration in employment outcomes.
Background: Endoscopic follow-up after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) sometime reveals worrisome findings as the presence of major digestive lesions such as esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus (BE), and also esophageal cancer.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and severity of esophageal and gastric lesions after SG.
Methods: Our team collected the results of esogastric endoscopies performed on patients who underwent SG up to five years before in our hospital, from April 2010 to August 2014.
Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are commonly performed, but few studies have shown superiority of one strategy over the other.
Objective: Simultaneously compare LSG and LRYGB in terms of weight loss and morbimortality over a 36-month follow-up period.
Setting: University hospital and bariatric surgery centers, France.
