Objectives: To assess the outcomes of different types of bariatric surgeries in a single newly established private obesity center.
Methods: Retrospectively, we included patients who were entered in the registry for bariatric surgeries in the Obesity Unit, Riyadh National Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between January 2013 and September 2014, and completed one year of follow up. Baseline characteristics, percent excess weight loss, and safety data were collected and analyzed.
Results: A total of 79 patients were included. Based on the type of surgery, patients were divided into 3 groups: laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), laparoscopic minigastric bypass (MGBP), and laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (SG). After one year, RYGB and MGB patients lost more weight than SG patients. No mortality, or leak were reported and one patient had reoperation after revision laparoscopic RYGB for bleeding. There was one readmission, while 4 patients visited the emergency room for vomiting and dehydration (2 patients), anemia (one patient), and port site infection (one patient).
Conclusion: Bariatric surgeries are safe when carried out by an experienced bariatric surgeon in the private sector. The outcome of this series is similar to the published results from large international obesity databases.

Background: This study aimed to validate the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) risk calculator for predicting outcomes in patients undergoing abdominoplasty after massive weight loss.
Methods: Patients' characteristics, pre-existing comorbidities and adverse outcomes in our department from 2013 to 2023 were collected retrospectively. Adverse events were defined according to ACS-NSQIP standards and predicted risks were calculated manually using the ACS-NSQIP risk calculator.

Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), yet the precise mechanisms underlying its effectiveness remain incompletely understood. While previous research has emphasized the role of rearrangement of the gastrointestinal anatomy, gaps persist regarding the specific impact on the gut microbiota and barriers within the biliopancreatic, alimentary, and common limbs. This study aimed to investigate the effects of duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery on obese T2DM mice.

Pre-operative bariatric patient characteristics driving hiatal hernia repair decision by operating surgeons.

Background: Hiatal hernia (HH) is routinely reported in 40% of bariatric surgery patients. Left unrepaired, HH can lead to post-surgical reflux, regurgitation, and vomiting.
Objectives: We hypothesize that patients with pre-operative reflux symptoms and a higher body mass index (BMI) will receive hiatal hernia repairs (HHR) more often.

Department of Surgery, Arman International Hospital, Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: Eating disorders have been found to be associated with poorer weight loss outcomes following sleeve gastrectomy. However, limited research has been conducted on the specific impact of eating disorders on patients after sleeve gastrectomy. This study aimed to investigate the role of eating disorders, particularly binge eating disorder and loss of control, on weight loss outcomes and eating-disorder psychopathology following sleeve gastrectomy.
