Background.
Many institutions mandate preoperative weight loss prior to bariatric surgery.
This study examines the correlation between preoperative weight change and postoperative success following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Methods.
We retrospectively studied the correlation between change in BMI before surgery and change in BMI postoperatively, using linear regression analyses and one-way ANOVA, in 256 consecutive gastric bypass patients with 1-year followup.
Results.
Of 256 patients, 125 lost weight preoperatively (mean −1.7% BMI), while 131 maintained or gained weight (mean +1.2% BMI).
Postoperatively, there was no significant difference in percent BMI loss between the two groups (34.6% and 34.5%).
The percent change in BMI preoperatively did not predict postoperative BMI change after 1 year (P=n.s.).
Conclusions.
Our study did not show any correlation between preoperative weight change and postoperative weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Therefore, we do not believe that potential patients should be denied bariatric surgery on the basis of their inability to lose weight preoperatively.
