weight loss
This single-blinded randomized controlled trial compared the outcomes of revisional BLSG and NBLSG throughout two years of follow-up. Both BLSG and NBLSG had comparable significant weight loss effects and improvement of associated medical problems in patients. At our clinic, we provide comprehensive explanations of various bariatric metabolic revisional surgeries to all patients. Following a thorough consultation with the multidisciplinary team (MDT) regarding eligibility criteria and optimal surgical options, we present the recommended procedures to our patients. However, we have increasingly encountered patients who prefer LSG as their sole choice for revisional surgery after experiencing insufficient weight loss or weight regain, accompanied by an enlarged stomach volume. Consequently, we decided to further investigate this growing trend.
