Protein Supplementation with Short Peptides Prevents Early Muscle Mass Loss after Roux-en-Y-Gastric Bypass.

Introduction: A significant reduction in fat-free mass (FFM) following bariatric surgery (BS) has been reported, and adequate protein intake is recommended for FFM preservation. Current guidelines of nutritional management after BS recommend complex protein (CP) compounds. However, Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB) has a negative impact on CP digestion, leading to protein malabsorption.

The Impact of the Length of the Common Intestinal Loop on Metabolic and Nutritional Outcomes of Patients with Severe Obesity Who Undergo of Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy: 5-Year Follow-Up.

Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a recent bariatric surgery technique, highly effective in terms of weight loss. Nevertheless, data regarding the impact of SADI-S at mid-long term (after >5 years of follow-up) are scarce. To evaluate the effect of lengths of common intestinal loop on the evolution of patients with morbid obesity (MO), who undergo SADI-S.

The Impact of Bariatric Surgery on the Muscle Mass in Patients with Obesity: 2-Year Follow-up.

Purpose: Bariatric surgery (BS) induces a significant and sustained weight loss in patients with severe obesity (SO). Nevertheless, apart from significantly reducing body fat, fat-free mass (FFM) might also be lost. At present, there is little and controversial data in the literature regarding the impact of BS on FFM.
