Introduction: Project of Bariatric surgery in University clinic center (UCC) Tuzla has been initiated in 2009 as an idea of professor Dešo Mešić and soon after that Bariatric surgical team led by doctor Fuad Pasic has been created.
Material And Methods: Practical team education was realized in Croatia in hospital "Sisters of Mercy" under supervision of professor Miroslav-Bekavac Beslin. First bariatric operations in UCC Tuzla has been done in 2011 and it was biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) Scopinaro.
Results And Discussion: So far there has been done 30 operations and among them there have been used almost all operative modalities - restrictive, malabsorptive and combined (laparoscopic gastric banding-LAPGB, Roux-y mini gastric bypass, open and laparoscopic gastric sleeve resection, and over mentioned Scopinaro's BPD). Beginning results are very promising according to the fact that almost all operated patients after one year stopped using antihypertensive, antidiabetic and antidepressant therapy, that average year's weight loss is 35-100 kilograms and total satisfactions of patients after surgeries is obvious.

Background: Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and associated with reduced life expectancy metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is the treatment indicated when patients are unable to lose weight through lifestyle changes and medication alone. However, more evidence is necessary to show non-inferiority of e-health compared to in-person monitoring with regard to important parameters for the success of surgical treatment of obesity such as anthropometric changes.
Methods And Analyses: This review study will include cohort studies involving individuals with obesity and e-health or in-person patient monitoring before and after MBS.
Background: Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI) has emerged as a safe and effective bariatric procedure. Its simplicity and robust weight loss outcomes have contributed to its increasing popularity. While traditionally performed as an inpatient procedure, recent trends towards ambulatory surgery have prompted interest in outpatient SADI.

Background/objectives: In metabolic bariatric surgery, structured follow-up protocols may play an essential role in achieving optimal patient outcomes. This study aims to report postoperative biochemical outcomes in a cohort of post-bariatric patients who underwent a structured follow-up protocol.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent metabolic bariatric surgery and completed a one-year follow-up at Cannizaro Hospital from October 2022 to May 2024.

Background/objectives: Obesity remains a global health concern and is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease overall. Dissimilar hypertension guidelines are available for clinicians, namely those prepared by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), which may lead to distinctive appreciation of health outcomes of patients with obesity after bariatric and metabolic surgery, such as hypertension remission. The main goal of this study was to compare the effects of applying stricter (AHA) versus looser (ESC) blood pressure criteria on hypertension diagnosis pre-bariatric surgery and remission assessment one year post-op.

The interplay between the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal hormones plays a pivotal role in the health of the host and the development of diseases. As a vital component of the intestinal microecosystem, the gut microbiota influences the synthesis and release of many gastrointestinal hormones through mechanisms such as modulating the intestinal environment, producing metabolites, impacting mucosal barriers, generating immune and inflammatory responses, and releasing neurotransmitters. Conversely, gastrointestinal hormones exert feedback regulation on the gut microbiota by modulating the intestinal environment, nutrient absorption and utilization, and the bacterial biological behavior and composition.
