Background: The aim of our study is to determine if a goal-directed program improves weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy.
Methods: Our goal-directed program involves setting excess weight loss targets at fixed intervals after sleeve gastrectomy. We identified patients in 3 bariatric centers between April 2010 and July 2013 and compared the center that has a goal-directed weight loss program (goal-directed program) with the other 2 centers (standard program).
Background: The preoperative use of gastroscopy for patients undergoing bariatric surgery remains controversial. We aim to evaluate the diagnostic yield of gastroscopy and the clinical significance in asymptomatic individuals undergoing bariatric surgery in Asia.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients undergoing gastroscopy prior to bariatric surgery at the National University Hospital and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Singapore, between Jan 2006 and June 2013.
