Background: Long-term follow-up is important in the evaluation of results of bariatric operations. The authors followed vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) in an ongoing database.
Methods: From 1986 to 1999, 123 VBGs were performed in one surgical ward. The series comprises 105 females and 18 males, with mean age 37 years and mean preoperative BMI 48.39 kg/m(2). The authors evaluated long-term results (patients followed, patients who underwent revisional surgery, success rate and complications), analyzed in 2000 and again in 2002.
Results: With time, the percentage of patients in the follow-up decreased from 65 to 53%, the success-rate decreased from 46.16 to 32.79%, and revisional surgery for inadequate weight loss or complications increased from 9.61 to 29.51% in only 2 years.
Conclusion: The weight loss of VBG was frequently not maintained in the long-term. However, we have previously found maintained improvements in comorbidities.

Key Laboratory of Endocrinology of National Health Commission, Department of Endocrinology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100730, China.
Objective: This study aimed to systematically review the existing literature to summarize the incidence and risk factors of post-metabolic and bariatric surgery hypoglycemia (MBSH).
Methods: We searched PubMed, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases for the studies published from inception to August 2023. Randomized controlled trials and analytical studies that investigated the incidence or risk factors of MBSH after different surgery techniques (including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, duodenal switch, omega-loop gastric bypass, and vertical banded gastroplasty) were involved.

Background: Evidence is lacking to inform how micronutrient deficiencies should be prevented and treated before metabolic-bariatric surgery to optimize patient outcomes.
Objective: This systematic review aimed to examine the effect of preoperative repletion strategies for micronutrient deficiencies on micronutrient biochemistry, quality of life, and complication rates among candidates for metabolic and bariatric surgery compared with usual care, alternate strategies, or no treatment.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and CENTRAL was searched in April 2024.
