Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Thyroid Morphology and Thyroid Function.

Introduction: Few studies have evaluated the impact of bariatric surgery (BS) on thyroid function and morphology, and how it correlates to inflammatory and metabolic markers. We aimed to evaluate all those parameters together.

Methods: A longitudinal study included 70 patients with severe obesity.

Thyrotoxicosis after gastric bypass.

Obesity surgery is the optimal therapy for morbid obesity. A case is presented of a young woman who developed thyrotoxicosis, believed to be part of subacute thyroiditis, some days after undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This clinical entity can present difficulties in differential diagnosis from potential postoperative complications.
