The Association Between Appetite and Quality of Life in Adults with Obesity or Severe Obesity Post-Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedure: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is considered as the most common bariatric procedure in Saudi Arabia. It is a non-reversible procedure defined as removal of a large portion of the stomach.

Objective: The objective of the current study is to compare the appetite and quality of life (QoL) between adults' post-sleeve gastrectomy and obese/morbidly obese adults (pre-SG).

Small bowel obstruction secondary to gastric balloon migration: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that carries significant morbidity and mortality. It is considered a major risk factor for many serious diseases. Therefore, different invasive and noninvasive therapeutic modalities are being used to help obese individuals to return to a healthy life.

Laparoscopic Transgastric Resection of a Gastric Submucosal Tumor near Esophagogastric Junction with Concomitant Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Video Case Report.

Background: Over the past two decades, there has been a significant rise in bariatric surgery. As a consequence, the prevalence of obese patients with a combined gastric pathology such as a submucosal tumor (SMT) requiring excision at the same time as bariatric surgery is higher but the management remains controversial. We report the safety and effectiveness of a simultaneous laparoscopic transgastric resection of a large gastric SMT near the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) with sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
