Factors Involved in the Evolution of the Basal Metabolic Rate over 30 Months After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Introduction: After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), the basal metabolic rate (BMR) falls. However, it is important to know how BMR per kilogram of body weight (BMR/kg) varies in the postoperative period. The present study evaluated the changes in the BMR/kg and its correlates over 30 months after RYGB.

Evolution of the basal metabolic rate after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Patients who undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) exhibit a reduction in total basal metabolic rate (BMR) after surgery, which seems to be intimately related to the amount of postoperative weight loss. The objective was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to determine and evaluate BMR changes after RYGB. The search was performed in certified databases, and the strategy was structured according to the PRISMA ScR.

Comparison of the dietary intake amongst women in the late postoperative period after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with the bariatric food pyramidof dietary intake with reference values among women in late postoperative of y-en-roux gastric bypass.

Introduction: the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is considered to be an efficient treatment of obesity. There is an improvement in the dietary intake in the immediate postoperative period, but after the first year there is a tendency to return to the old pre-surgery habits. The objective of the present study was to compare the dietary intake of women in the late postoperative period after RYGB with the recommendations of the specific bariatric food pyramid.
