Waist Circumference Is a Strong Predictor of a Positive Outcome Evaluated One Year After Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: Bariatric surgeries, such as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), not only result in significant weight loss but also improve the inflammatory state in obese patients. This study aimed to investigate the effects of LSG on weight loss and inflammation status in bariatric patients 1-year post-procedure.

Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted from September 2022 to May 2024.
