Article Synopsis
- The objective of weight reduction surgery is to not only lose weight but also enhance quality of life and resolve obesity-related health issues, as assessed through the Moorehead-Ardelt Quality of Life Questionnaire II (M-A QoLQ II) within the Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS).
- In a study of 67 patients undergoing laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) with a follow-up of around 27 months, significant improvements were observed in weight and comorbidities, resulting in a majority of patients reporting positive outcomes.
- The findings indicate that M-A QoLQ II effectively measures the success of bariatric surgery, suggesting that LAGB can lead to favorable results in health improvements and quality of life
