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.
Bariatric Surgery Associated With Suicide, Non-Fatal Self-Harm
A recent study reported that the risk for suicide and non-fatal self-harm was increased after bariatric surgery.
Optimal Timing of Gastric Bypass and Cholecystectomy When Both Procedures Clinically Indicated
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with simultaneous cholecystectomy had a significantly higher complication rate and took more than 1 hour longer than RYGB without cholecystectomy.
Nonvertebral Fracture Risk After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Researchers examined the nonvertebral fracture risk in adults with obesity who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass vs adjustable gastric banding.
Gastric Bypass Outcomes in Severely Obese Teens
Severely obese adolescents who underwent gastric bypass surgery experienced significant weight loss that was maintained over long-term follow-up.
Gastric Bypass Tied to Decreased Psoriasis Risk
Gastric bypass, but not gastric banding, is associated with reduced risk of psoriasis, progression to severe psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis.
Gastric Bypass May Significantly Reduce Long-Term Mortality Risk
Patients who undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass are less likely to die from obesity or other diseases than those who did not undergo the procedure 10 years later.
Diabetes Remission Rates After RYGB Vary With Study Duration
After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, variations in rates of diabetes remission are primarily related to differences in the definition of remission and study duration.
