Purpose: Pregnant women who have undergone bariatric surgery must be followed to ensure healthy mother-child nutritional status. This study aimed to compare weight status of mother-child dyad after maternal bariatric surgery in public and private Brazilian healthcare system units.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective matched case-control included 19 women who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery performed by the same private clinical surgical team and 19 age- and preoperative body mass index (BMI) matched patients from a public hospital. All 38 female patients reported a postoperative spontaneous pregnancy. The T test of independent samples and Pearson chi-square test were used to investigate inter-group differences.
Results: Patients in the private system were more frequently married (94.7% versus 68.4%, p = 0.036) and had a higher educational level (94.7% versus 36.8%, p = 0.01 for tertiary education) but lower BMI, compared with those in the public system (pre-gestational = 25.7 ± 3.2 versus 28.5 ± 5.0 kg/m, p = 0.049; post-gestational = 24.6 ± 1.6 versus 29.0 ± 6.0 kg/m, p = 0.040). The interval from bariatric surgery to conception was shorter among public system patients (21.1 ± 13.9 versus 43.4 ± 31.2 months, p = 0.009). In both groups, almost 90% of children were born at full term and with adequate weights.
Conclusion: Despite differences in the characteristics of public and private systems, the mother-child dyads in both groups achieved satisfactory post-bariatric surgery gestation outcomes. The type of medical system does not appear to influence pregnancy outcomes or neonatal weight status conditions.

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.
