Lipid profile change after bariatric surgeries: laparoscopic gastric plication versus mini gastric bypass
2018
AbstractIntroduction: Bariatric surgeries are known to have profound effects on lipid profile. Laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) has been shown to have a comparable effect on weight loss rather than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and mini gastric bypass (MGB). But the post-operative effect on lipid profile is not well-compared. We aimed to compare post-operative lipid profile change after LGP and MGB.Methods: In a retrospective analysis, we reviewed 91 patients for at least 12 months. Patients were assigned to undergo either LGP (71 patients) or MGB (20 patients). Preoperative and postoperative visits were accomplished and weight, BMI, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and lipid profile including triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels were repeatedly measured. Follow up rate for the first year was 100%.Results: LGP significantly decreased both TG and TC levels in each follow up (all p values < .05). The same trends were observed in BMI reduction, total body weight loss percentage, and FBG. Whe...
