Benefits to patients choosing preoperative weight loss in gastric bypass surgery: new results of a randomized trial.
J Am Coll Surg. 2009; (2): 241-5
Historically, preoperative weight loss has been encouraged for patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery to decrease liver mass, technically facilitating the procedure. In an earlier prospective randomized trial investigating effects of preoperative weight loss on patients' clinical outcomes, we reported no differences in postoperative complications or weight-loss profiles at 6-month followup. This article demonstrates results of the same study, with 1-year followup.
