Introduction: Studies examining preoperative weight loss using pharmacotherapy in metabolic and bariatric patients are limited. The objective was to investigate if patients taking a low-dose formulation of phentermine had improved weight loss.
Methods: This study was a randomized, placebo-controlled trial including patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

Advancements in surgical stapling devices play a crucial role in improving outcomes for bariatric procedures. This study evaluates the performance and safety of a new endoscopic stapler (EnDrive® Beluga) regarding perioperative results across multiple bariatric surgery types. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 112 patients who underwent bariatric procedures using the Beluga stapler at two centers in the United Arab Emirates and Kenya over a 6-month period (June-December 2023).

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a potentially refluxogenic operation while Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) is regarded as an anti-reflux procedure. The aim of this study is to compare long-term incidence of Barrett's Oesophagus (BO) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) following LSG and LRYGB.
Methods: Participants of a double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing banded LRYGB and LSG for remission of type 2 diabetes were contacted to take part.

The rising prevalence of obesity has led to an increase in bariatric procedures, with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) being one of the most commonly performed surgeries due to its efficacy and safety. However, internal hernia (IH) remains a significant complication post-LRYGB. The debate over preventive closure of mesenteric defects (MD) during LRYGB continues, with no consensus on the optimal technique.

Introduction: Strategies to address suboptimal weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can be developed if at-risk patients are identified in advance. This study aimed to build a pre-surgery prediction nomogram for early prediction of insufficient weight loss (IWL) or weight regain (WR) after bariatric surgery in Chinese patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 187 patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes who underwent laparoscopic RYGB were followed yearly for 3 years.
