Background/Aims:
Obesity is one of the most serious public health problems. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), a type of bariatric surgery, is emerging as the new promising therapy for the treatment of morbid obesity.
Methodology:
In the present study we aimed to assess the effects of LSG on body weight and other obesity related pathological conditions.
Results:
A total of 19 obese subjects underwent LSG surgery. All patients underwent complete evaluation including anthropometric/clinical parameters and laboratory tests. Hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM), body mass index (BMI), and hyperlipidemia were significantly reduced after LSG.
Conclusions:
Results of this study demonstrate that LSG induces stable weight loss and resolution of obesity-associated comorbidities.
