Five-Year Outcomes with Stand-alone Primary Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Purpose: Sleeve gastrectomy is now the commonest bariatric procedure worldwide, making it important to determine 5-year weight loss and micronutrient deficiency outcomes following primary, stand-alone sleeve gastrectomy (SG) with adequate follow-up. The purpose of this study was to evaluate weight loss, co-morbidity resolution, and haematological outcomes at 5 years with primary, stand-alone SG in our unit.

Materials And Methods: Baseline data were obtained from our prospectively maintained database and patients were invited for a 5-year follow-up.
