Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery on the contact activation system, which plays a role in prothrombotic and inflammatory processes in obese individuals.
- After surgery, various markers related to the contact system, such as kallikrein generation and factor XII, showed significant decreases, indicating improved metabolic conditions.
- The findings suggest that changes in these markers are associated with reductions in C1 esterase inhibitor and improvements in metabolic variables like triglycerides and cholesterol levels post-surgery.
Background: Severe obesity is associated with a reduced ability to work. Bariatric surgery is the most effective method to achieve a sustained weight loss. Previous studies have reported conflicting results regarding the effect of bariatric surgery on employment status.

It is unknown how fibrinolytic variables are affected, and whether fibrinolytic and metabolic changes predict the enhanced clot lysis. Study aims were to determine fibrinolytic biomarkers before and 6 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and to identify predictors of the RYGB-induced increase in clot lysis.

- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across all domains measured by the SF-36 questionnaire, although it does not significantly enhance overall physical activity (PA) levels.
- Sixty patients were divided into a supervised physical training group and a control group, with assessments conducted before and after surgery over two years.
- The training intervention showed some promising effects on general health and certain PA measures shortly after the intervention, but these benefits did not last beyond the study period, indicating the need for ongoing PA promotion post-surgery.
