The present study evaluates the relationship between the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This prospective cohort study evaluated 125 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The MHR before and at 6 months after surgery were compared in patients with <50 and ≥50 %EWL. The MHR was lower in patients with a %EWL of <50 than in patients with a %EWL of ≥50 (p = 0.019). The decrease in the MHR at postoperative 6 months was more remarkable in patients with a %EWL of ≥50 (p < 0.001). The present study suggests that MHR decreased more remarkably at postoperative 6 months in patients with high %EWL, predicting a decrease in cardiovascular risk.

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.

Background: Obesity is one of the most important health problems in the world. It affects all systems, especially the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is an effective method in the treatment of obesity and can improve respiratory functions.

Background: Recurrent weight gain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is common. Revisional endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (r-ESG) has been shown to be a promising endoscopic bariatric therapy (EBT) to treat weight recurrence after LSG. However, to date, weight loss outcomes beyond 1-year follow-up are unknown.

Background: Obesity is a significant risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), with metabolic bariatric surgery offering potential renal benefits. However, there is limited comparative data on the impact of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) versus laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on renal function in individuals with obesity without end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The objective of this study was to compare renal function outcomes following RYGB and LSG in patients with obesity, focusing on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum creatinine, albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), and serum cystatin C.

Background/objective: Obesity is linked to increased risks of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Bariatric surgery (BS) aids in weight management, significantly altering body composition. This study evaluates the predictive value of five complete blood count (CBC)-derived indices [C-reactive-protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY), glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, platelet (HALP), and controlling nutritional status (COUNT)] on body composition changes post-BS.
