Ten-year Outcomes of a Prospective Randomized Trial of Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Versus Laparoscopic Gastric Banding.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The primary endpoints of this study were long-term weight loss, morbidity, and changes in comorbidities and quality of life.

Background

Bariatric surgery is an effective option for the treatment of severe obesity and its related comorbidities. However, few studies have reported on the long-term outcome (>5 yrs) of bariatric surgery.

Methods

Between 2002 and 2007, 250 patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 to 60 kg/m were randomly assigned to undergo laparoscopic gastric bypass or laparoscopic gastric banding.

Results

At baseline, the mean age was 43 ± 10 ye
