Levothyroxine Dose Adjustment After Bariatric Surgery Weight Loss
Hypothyroidism is common in patients with obesity, but there are no clear data regarding whether patients who are taking levothyroxine should have their dosing regimen adjusted following weight loss after undergoing bariatric surgery.
Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery and Remission of Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes often goes into remission following weight loss after bariatric surgery. Researchers investigated whether greater amounts of weight loss were associated with higher rates of disease remission.
Weight Loss Surgery May Prolong Life for People With Diabetes
Obesity in people with diabetes can shorten their lifespan. Researchers compared long-term survival outcomes with regard to use of traditional weight loss methods vs bariatric surgery.
Bariatric Gastric Bypass Surgery Alters Gut Microbiome Among Adults With Type 2 Diabetes and Mild Obesity
Researchers assessed how gut microbiota changes are associated with anthropometric, metabolic, and inflammatory profiles following metabolic surgery in adults with type 2 diabetes and mild obesity.
Metabolic-Bariatric Surgery Boosts Life Expectancy, Especially Among Patients With Diabetes
Researchers compared long-term survival outcomes of severely obese patients who underwent metabolic–bariatric surgery with those who received usual care.
Gastric Bypass Surgery Linked to Increased Risk for Nonvertebral Fractures
Roux-en Y gastric bypass increased the likelihood of nonvertebral fractures, including hip, wrist, and pelvic fractures.
Damaging Effects of Gastric Bypass Surgery on Bone Mass and Microarchitecture
Researchers observed detrimental effects of RYGB on bone turnover, mass, structure, and strength just 6 months postoperatively, and these effects persisted throughout the duration of the 12-month study.
Greater Benefits for Patients With T2D After RYGB Surgery vs Other Management Options
For obese adults with type 2 diabetes, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is associated with greater weight loss, lower HbA1c, and reduced cardiovascular risk compared with intensive medical diabetes and weight management.
