The Effects of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) on Obesity-Related Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Prospective Observational Study from a Single Center.

Purpose: The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on mid- to long-term regulation of blood glucose in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) MATERIALS AND METHODS : In this prospective and observational single-center study, a total of 234 patients with obesity and a diagnosis of T2DM who underwent LSG between 2015 and 2020 were evaluated. The demographics and laboratory data, consisting of body mass index (BMI), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c%), and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and total weight loss (TWL%), were compared preoperative and postoperative at 12 and 18 months and annual follow-up for seven consecutive years.

Results: The mean age of 234 patients (female(n)/male(n):191/43) included in the study was 44.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective, multicenter, observational study of pregnant women who had undergone LSG between 2012 and 2021 was conducted. According to the IOM criteria, GWG was grouped as insufficient, appropriate, and excessive.

Timing of Gestation After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG): Does It Influence Obstetrical and Neonatal Outcomes of Pregnancies?

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the effect of pregnancy timing after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on maternal and fetal outcomes.

Methods: Women with LSG were stratified into two groups with surgery-to-conception intervals of ≤ 18 months (early group) or > 18 months (late group). Only the first delivery after LSG was included in this study.
