Article Synopsis
- Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) is the best treatment for obesity, but many patients experience recurrent weight gain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), leading to associated health issues; gastric pouch resizing (GPR) offers a low-risk solution for this weight regain.
- A study involving 48 patients who underwent GPR after RYGB showed significant weight stabilization over time, with a mean follow-up indicating an improvement in BMI and resolution of obesity-related health conditions in more than half of the participants.
- The procedure was determined to be safe, with low rates of complications, and patients reported high satisfaction levels, making GPR a worthwhile option for those struggling with weight regain post-surgery.
Introduction: Weight bias refers to negative attitudes toward individuals because of their weight. Evidence-based strategies to successfully reduce weight bias in medical students are lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a multifaceted intervention on medical students' attitudes toward patients with obesity.

As opposed to ACTH- and GH-secreting adenoma, the mechanism by which macroprolactinoma causes obesity has not been fully understood. Having seen patients with both prolactinoma and obesity and more recent literature on brain dopamine, dopamine 2 receptors and obesity, we re-evaluated the potential relationship between prolactinoma and obesity.

Summary Background Data: Countless laparoscopic gastric bandings have been implanted during the recent years worldwide. Despite excellent short-term results, long-term failures and complications have been reported in more than 20% of patients.
Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is now the most frequently performed gastric restriction procedure. While short- and long-term outcome have been described extensively, the relationship between eating behavior and weight reduction is still unclear.
Methods: The present study examined the eating behavior of 66 selected morbidly obese subjects before and after LAGB by means of the Eating Inventory (EI), the Binge Scale Questionnaire (BSQ) and additional items.
