Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding Reduces Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue and Blood Inflammation in Nondiabetic Morbidly Obese Individuals
2014
Background
Significant and sustained excess weight loss (EWL) appears to reduce the risk of obesity-related comorbidities (insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and inflammation), but this has been primarily shown in adult diabetic obese patients. We evaluated whether the EWL obtained 3 years after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) improves the metabolic phenotype in nondiabetic morbidly obese (NDMO) individuals from south Italy.
