Which Surgery Is Better For Long-Term Weight Loss Remains Unknown,

People with obesity may initially shed more excess pounds with...Roux-en-Y gastric bypass than with a newer sleeve gastrectomy procedure, but” in the long term, “which one is better for weight loss remains unknown,” researchers concluded after examining “data from previous studies on a total of 2,475 obese patients in 13 countries who had weight-loss surgery between 2006 and 2018.” Investigators found that “five years after surgery, there was not enough evidence to determine whether one procedure might be better than the other.” The findings of the medical literature review were published online in the Annals of Surgery. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-surgery-obesity/best-surgery-for-long-term-weight-loss-not-yet-clear-idUSKBN1XO2SN
