RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We analyzed the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and its determinants in the first year after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). The setting was 10 Italian public and private bariatric surgery centers. METHODS: Data collected in an ongoing, prospective, 3-year multicenter Italian study on the changes in HRQOL after LAGB were used. HRQOL was investigated using the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 questionnaire. Hunger, satiety, and the self-perceived effects of LAGB were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 334 patients were enrolled. The follow-up rate was 92.2%. The percentage of excess weight loss was 39.6% ± 25.8%, with very few side effects or complications. Hunger in the morning (0-10 scale) was 4.5 ± 2.7 before surgery and 3.8 ± 2.4 after 1 year (P <.001). Satiety after a meal (0-10 scale) was 7.1 ± 2.7 before surgery and 8.2 ± 1.9 at 1 year (P <.001). The self-perceived effect of LAGB on caloric intake (0-10 scale) was 8.4 ± 1.9 after 1 year. The scores for the 8 Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 subscales were significantly improved after surgery. The physical component summary score was 52.6 ± 11.9 at baseline and 79.1 ± 15.6 after 1 year (P <.001). The corresponding mental component summary scores were 52.2 ± 12.3 and 76.5 ± 17.2 (P <.001). Greater physical component summary improvement was independently associated with a low initial physical component summary (P <.001), high satiety (P = .002), a high percentage of excess weight loss (P = .013), and a high self-perceived effect of the LAGB (P = .026). Greater mental component summary improvement was associated with a low initial mental component summary (P <.001), high satiety (P <.001), a low frequency of heartburn (P = .004), and a high percentage of excess weight loss (P = .012). CONCLUSIONS: Significant improvements in HRQOL were observed in the first year after LAGB. A poor baseline HRQOL, a high efficacy of the banding in eating control, and better weight loss might influence HRQOL changes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery in superobese (BMI > 50 kg/m(2)) and super-superobese (BMI > 60 kg/m(2)) patients can be a formidable technical and therapeutic challenge because these patients often present multiple medical, surgical, and anesthetic risks. Only a few dedicated reports on different surgical options in this kind of patient population are available. The aim of this study is the evaluation of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) results in an unselected populations of super-superobese patients operated during the last 4 years. METHODS: Super-superobese (BMI > 60 kg/m(2)) patients who underwent LAGB were recruited from the prospective database of our institution. LapBand System (Allergan, Irvine, CA, USA) was positioned in all cases via pars flaccida, 1-2 cm below the gastroesophageal junction and fixed anteriorly with three non-absorbable stitches. The band was not filled at the time of surgery. Operative time, co-morbidities, laparotomic conversion, intra- and postoperative complications, mortality, and weight-loss-related parameters were considered. Data were expressed as mean +/- standard deviation, except as otherwise indicated. RESULTS: From January 2003 to December 2006, 823 patients underwent a bariatric surgical procedure, 95 of whom (11.5%) were BMI > 60 kg/m(2) (59 F/ 36 M; mean BMI, 62.5 +/- 4.2; range, 60.1-77 kg/m(2); mean age 38.5 +/- 13.5, range 18-61 years old). Mortality, intraoperative, and 30-day major complications were absent. One or more preoperative co-morbidities were diagnosed in 90 of 95 (94.7%) patients. After 1 year, co-morbidity-free patients increased from five of 95 (5.3%) to 27 of 95 (28%; p < 0.001). Patients with three or more co-morbidities decreased from 62 of 95 (65.3%) to 0 (p < 0.001). Mean BMI was 43.6 in 95 of 95, 37.9 in 55 of 55, 29.1 in 11 of 11, and 28.9 in five of five patients at 12, 24, 36, and 48 months, respectively. At the same time, %EWL was 53.6, 69.7, 81.3, and 82.1 and %EBL was 50, 66, 90, and 91. CONCLUSIONS: LAGB can be considered an appropriate bariatric surgical option in super-superobese patients both for low morbidity rate and weight loss. The end-point of BMI < 30 can be achieved with a multidisciplinary follow-up. Additional studies with more patients and longer follow-up are needed to confirm these observations.
