Clinical significance of failure to lose weight 10 years after roux-en-y gastric bypass.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) induces short-term weight loss and co-morbidity amelioration, long-term data suggest that a subset of patients return to their preoperative body mass index (BMI).

Objectives

To identify the clinical implications of 10-year weight loss failure after RYGB.

Setting

An academic teaching hospital.

Methods

Adults undergoing RYGB (1985-2004) were included in this study (n = 1087). Absolute weight loss failure was defined as ≤0% reduction in excess BMI 10 years after surgery. Univariate analyses compared co-morbidity rates and resolution by weight loss classification. Multivariable regression modeling analyzed preoperative predictors of 10-year percent reduction in excess BMI and weight loss failure.
