  • Follow-up at 2 years post-surgery for outcome assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • 94 patients underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (n=57), sleeve gastrectomy (n=30), or gastric bypass (n=7).
    • At 2 years, mean weight loss was 34% (banding), 51% (sleeve gastrectomy), and 61% (gastric bypass).
    • Significant improvements were observed in metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic bariatric surgery demonstrates favorable outcomes for Chinese patients with severe obesity.
    • A multidisciplinary approach combined with surgical procedures enhances treatment effectiveness.
    • Bariatric surgery leads to substantial weight reduction and amelioration of obesity-related co-morbidities.
