Background: Bariatric surgery improves glycaemia in obese people with type 2 diabetes, but its effects are uncertain in overweight people with this disease. We aimed to identify whether laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery can improve glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes who were overweight but not obese.
Methods: We did an open-label, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial between Nov 1, 2009, and June 30, 2013, at one centre in Melbourne, Australia. Patients aged 18-65 years with type 2 diabetes and a BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m2 were randomly assigned (1:1), by computer-generated random sequence, to receive either multidisciplinary diabetes care plus laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery or multidisciplinary diabetes care alone. The primary outcome was diabetes remission 2 years after randomisation, defined as glucose concentrations of less than 7.0 mmol/L when fasting and less than 11.1 mmol/L 2 h after 75 g oral glucose, at least two days after stopping glucose-lowering drugs. Analysis was by intention to treat. This trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, number ACTRN12609000286246.
Findings: 51 patients were randomised to the multidisciplinary care plus gastric band group (n=25) or the multidisciplinary care only group (n=26), of whom 23 participants and 25 participants, respectively, completed follow-up to 2 years. 12 (52%) participants in the multidisciplinary care plus gastric band group and two (8%) participants in the multidisciplinary care only group achieved diabetes remission (difference in proportions 0.44, 95% CI 0.17-0.71; p=0.0012). One (4%) participant in the gastric band group needed revisional surgery and four others (17%) had a total of five episodes of food intolerance due to excessive adjustment of the band.
Interpretation: When added to multidisciplinary care, laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery for overweight people with type 2 diabetes improves glycaemic control with an acceptable adverse event profile. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery is a reasonable treatment option for this population.

To assess the medium-term weight loss and maintenance of lean body mass (ideal weight/weight loss maintenance) following the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgical procedure with or without the use of a rigid gastric ring. An observational cohort study with a retrospective approach was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of RYGB with and without a band in patients with morbid obesity. The outcomes were assessed by analyzing data obtained from medical records, including pre- and postoperative data.

Pregnancy after laparoscopic adjusted gastric banding (LAGB) is thought to be safe and lowers the risk for maternal obstetric complications, without causing a difference in birth weight or a higher incidence of neonatal complications. Even though LAGB complications in pregnancy are rare, they are often severe and can cause significant maternal and neonatal morbidity. This report outlines the case of a pregnant 32-year-old female with gastric band slippage in the third trimester and provides a summary of the literature on LAGB complications in pregnancy and their management.

A rectus sheath haematoma (RSH) is a relatively rare cause of acute abdominal pain that is becoming more prevalent due to an increase in anticoagulant therapy. Of its associated complications, acute obstructive uropathy is exceedingly rare. This is a case of a 62-year-old lady who presented with abdominal pain caused by an RSH which then led to obstructive uropathy.

Background: Conflicting studies have investigated the association between obesity, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), and cancer.
Objectives: Our study aimed at elucidating the trends in cancer incidence that are related to obesity and weight loss managed through MBSs, like Colo-rectal, breast, uterine, and esophageal cancer.
Setting: We conducted a search using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library electronic databases through May 2020.
