A cross-sectional survey of patients attending follow-up visits after sleeve gastrectomy: Factors affecting weight loss

The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with improved or in-progress EWL among patients who had undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Routine cross-sectional surveying can help clinicians in understanding patients’ post-operative follow-up routines. Special attention to pre-operative BMI, weight-loss regimens, and childhood-onset as well as post-operative duration, low responders, and compliance with clinical assessment can improve weight loss outcomes.
