Title: 15+ year weight change outcomes and complications after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a single-center study
Abstract: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery procedure in the United States. The short-term outcomes following RYGB have been well studied; however, evidence on long-term (≥5 years) outcomes following RYGB is sparse, particularly in the U.S. population. Using data from patients who underwent RYGB at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, we studied longitudinal patterns of weight loss and regain following RYGB up to 18 years after surgery and recorded the number of patients who experienced adverse events.
