Impact of metabolic surgery on health-related quality of life and quality of alimentation.

Background: Bariatric surgery for morbidly obese patients has been shown to ameliorate their quality of life (QOL). Little data are available in mildly obese patients undergoing metabolic surgery.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of metabolic surgery for diabetic patients with body mass index <35 kg/m on health-related QOL (HR-QOL), food tolerance, and food satisfaction in a single institution.

The Effects of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy with Duodenojejunal Bypass on Japanese Patients with BMI < 35 kg/m on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and the Prediction of Successful Glycemic Control.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with duodenojejunal bypass (LSG-DJB) is a combination of sleeve gastrectomy and proximal intestinal bypass through duodenal exclusion. This technique has shown excellent weight loss and anti-diabetic effects in severely obese patients. In this retrospective study, we examined the clinical effects of LSG-DJB on mildly obese patients (body mass index (BMI) < 35 kg/m) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and analyzed factors contributing to the successful postoperative glycemic control.
