Food Tolerance
dysphagia, vomiting
DYSPHAGIA
Both LBSG and NBLSG groups showed a significantly reduced food tolerance (FT) score two years postoperatively, which may be explained by the reduced stomach volume. The BLSG group showed a significantly lower score than the NBLSG group, probably caused by the restrictive feeling from the band over time. Banded procedures generally have lower FT scores than non-banded procedures, such as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, which has the worst reported FT among bariatric metabolic surgery procedures [In several studies, the banded sleeve had a higher incidence of regurgitation, vomiting, and dysphagia, reflected in a lower FT score [
