Background: Bariatric surgery improves insulin sensitivity and secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes, but the effect on patients with prediabetes or even normal glucose tolerance deserves further consideration.
Methods: Cohort study including patients operated with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (LRYGB) between November 2012 and June 2017 at the Örebro University Hospital (n = 813) with follow-up of 742 patients 2 years after surgery. Fasting insulin, glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were analyzed at baseline and 2 years after surgery for patients with overt type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or non-diabetes.
Results: Fasting insulin levels improved for all groups (diabetics baseline 25.5 mIU/L, IQR 17.5-38.0, 2 years 7.6 mIU/L, IQR 5.4-11.1, p < 0.001; prediabetics baseline 25.0 mIU/L, IQR 17.5-35.0, 2 years 6.7mIU/L, IQR 5.3-8.8, p < 0.001; non-diabetics baseline 20.0 mIU/L, IQR 14.0-30.0, 2 years 6.4 mIU/L, IQR 5.0-8.5, p < 0.001). HbA1c improved in all groups (diabetics baseline 56 mmol/mol, IQR 49-74 [7.3%, IQP 6.6-8.9], 2 years 38 mmol/mol, IQR 36-47 [5.6%, IQR 5.4-6.4], p < 0.001; prediabetics baseline 40 mmol/mol, IQR 39-42 [5.8%, IQR5.7-6.0], 2 years 36 mmol/mol, IQR 34-38 [5.5%, IQR 5.3-5.6], p < 0.001; non-diabetics baseline 35 mmol/mol, IQR 33-37 [5.4%, IQR 5.2-5.5]; 2 years 34 mmol/mol, IQR 31-36 [5.3%, IQR 5.0-5.4], p < 0.001). HOMA-IR improved in all groups (diabetics baseline 9.3 mmol/mol, IQR 5.4-12.9, 2 years 1.9 mmol/mol, IQR 1.4-2.7, p < 0.001; prediabetics baseline 7.0 mmol/mol, IQR 4.3-9.9, 2 years 1.6 mmol/mol, IQR 1.2-2.1, p < 0.001; non-diabetics 4.9 mmol/mol, IQR 3.4-7.3, 2 years 1.4 mmol/mol, IQR 1.1-1.9, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Insulin homeostasis and glucometabolic control improve in all patients after LRYGB, not only in diabetics but also in prediabetics and non-diabetic obese patients, and this improvement is sustained 2 years after surgery.

Background: To determine if the positive outcomes from clinical trials regarding the safety and efficacy of metabolic bariatric surgery are reproducible at a national level.
Methods: A longitudinal registry-based observation study with data collected from all persons undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery in Australia from 28 February 2012-31 December 2021 including data from 122,567 index patients who underwent 134,625 completed bariatric procedures.
Main Outcomes And Measures: Defined adverse outcomes at 90-days (unplanned readmission, intensive care admission and re-operation; death), annual change in weight (percent total body weight loss (TBWL)), diabetes treatment and need for re-operation.
Ischemic Jejunitis as a Late Complication of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

The rising prevalence of obesity has led to a substantial investment in the advancement of treatment options for the disease and its comorbid conditions including lifestyle, pharmacologic, and procedural interventions. In this study, we describe a patient with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who was diagnosed with ischemic jejunitis on upper endoscopy because of the development of an internal hernia, a known late complication of bariatric surgery. This case highlights the diagnostic utility of endoscopy in postgastric bypass complications and the need for safer alternatives to surgery that have the potential to achieve significant weight loss such as bariatric endoscopic therapies.

Morbid obesity requires active intervention, with treatment options including lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and surgery. As the prevalence of obesity continues to rise in Korea, it is crucial for specialists and general practitioners to have a comprehensive understanding of obesity and its management. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment modality for obesity, leading to significant weight loss and metabolic benefits.

Background: Anastomotic ulcers (AU) at the gastroenterostomy are a common postoperative complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Possible risk factors for ulcer formation include active smoking, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, increased tension or ischemia at the anastomosis, or factors that increase the acid secretion of the gastric pouch. Therefore, a longer gastric pouch may increase risk of AU formation after LRYGB.
