Finally, 13 patients were included in the analysis. The studied cohort had a mean age of 52.6 ± 6.5 years, a mean BMI of 39.3 ± 1.4 kg/mParticipant characteristics at baseline and 1 year post-surgery.Data are expressed as mean ± SD. P values were calculated using paired t-test. Fat, lean and body mass were measured by DEXA. BMI, Body mass index; FPG, Fasting plasma glucose; HOMA-IR, Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; IL-6, Interleukin 6.
