2001 2003 LSG intended as sole operation N=110 consecutive patients Evaluation 2015 (Follow-up 11.7 + 4 yrs) 63 patients evaluated (35 lost, 2 dead from unrelated causes)
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE In brief, the linear gastrectomy was started some 5 6 cm proximal to the pylorus and was performed using a 34F bougie as a guide inside the stomach lumen. The technique thus did not involve extensive dissection of the hiatus
The cohort of patients not available for follow-up was statistically similar to the patients available in terms of age, gender, weight and BMI
For the 16 patients with new anatomy the revision operation was performed 31 months (IQR 65) after LSG Arman et al. SOARD 2016

Modified from Peterli et al. Outcomes at 3 years for LSG and LRYGB in terms of remission or improvement for 3 metabolic conditions AHT, Dyslipidemia and T2DM CONCLUSION: no significant difference in terms of T2DM or AHT remission/improvement In terms of dyslipidemia LRYGB has a better outcome (however study underpowered for T2DM remission)
3.- GERD at 11+ years
Arman et al. SOARD 2016 Fig. 5 2 patients treated by RYGB for GERD (1 de novo) Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases DOI: (10.1016/j.soard.2016.01.013) Copyright 2016 American Society for Bariatric Surgery Terms and Conditions
Of the 7 preoperatively GERD-positive patients, none improved; 6 continued PPI intake and 1 required conversion to RYGB primarily because of GERD (remission rate = 0%). Of the 56 preoperatively GERD negative patients, 14 did not keep the simple sleeve anatomy because of weight issues not related to GERD; in the remaining 42 individuals, 9 (21.4% of the total of followed patients) developed de novo GERD, which required conversion to RYGB in 1.

N=53 37 pts not converted 10 (38%) GERD (PPI)
Gastroscopies revealed de novo hiatal hernias in 45% of the patients and Barrett s metaplasia in 15%. Felsenreich et al. Obes Surg 2017

4.- PATIENT SATISFACTION
Overall satisfaction score (i.e., for the entire cohort) was 8 (IQR 2) 83% of the patients had a score > 7 (pleased or extremely pleased). for patients with preserved sleeve anatomy the final score was 8 (IQR 2), for patients with different anatomy the mean satisfaction score had gone up from 5.7 + 3.3 (1 10), before the revision, to the current 8 (IQR 2) (P <.011) Arman G, et al. SOARD 20 16
CONCLUSIONS At 11+ years, LSG alone produces an EWL of some 62% When needed a 2nd stage procedure (RYGB or DS) provides an EWL > 80% after 11+ years At 11+ years after LSG GERD is a frequent (21%) problem GERD issue depending on technique? Long-term patient satisfaction after LSG is good provided 2nd stage surgery is offered in timely fashion
