Abstract | Background: The study aims to demonstrate whether weight loss with a low-calorie diet before laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) may affect the outcomes. Materials and methods: A total of 305 patients undergoing primary LSG were included in the study. Each patient adopted a low-calorie diet (1000 calories) before LSG. The patients were stratified into two groups. Group A: Those who lost 3% or more of their total body weight loss (TBWL), Group B: Those who lost <3% of their TBWL. Two groups were compared in terms of operative time, length of hospital stay, complications and weight loss outcomes. Results: One hundred and five patients (35%) were in Group A and 200 patients were in Group B. Median weight loss was 4 kg (3-20 kg). Pre-operative mean body mass index (BMI) was 40 ± 7.4 kg/m Conclusion: Weight loss before LSG does not improve post-operative weight loss. |
