Metabolic syndrome remission after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Bariatric surgery is known to decrease weight and the prevalence of comorbidities, but there is little evidence on the differential effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on the remission of the aggregate outcome, metabolic syndrome, 4 years after surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of RYGB and SG on metabolic syndrome in veterans. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients who underwent SG and RYGB at the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center from 2003 to 2012. We determined the effect of both the operations on the remission of metabolic syndrome, its individual components, and medium-term morbidity and mortality. A sensitivity analysis was performed using propensity matching. RESULTS:A total of 266
