Abstract
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is highly effective for weight loss, but long-term data regarding the durability of metabolic improvements remain varied. This study aimed to evaluates how significant metabolic markers—specifically blood sugar, renal function (urea), and lipid profiles (cholesterol/HDL)—evolve alongside body mass index (BMI) over a 4-year period. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 30 patients was conducted, comparing preoperative data to 4-year follow-up results. Results: Anticipated results include a sustained reduction in BMI and blood sugar, with a significant increase in HDL levels. Statistical analysis will determine if age and sex influence the degree of these changes. Conclusion: The findings will provide insight into the long-term efficacy of LSG as a metabolic surgery rather than just a weight-loss procedure.The objective of study:
To assess pre-operative and 4 years post-operative mean difference in BMI and excess weight loss, to evaluate the long-term impact of LSG glycemic control (Blood Sugar) and lipid profiles (Total Cholesterol and HDL), To evaluate renal safety and metabolic byproduct variations through Serum Urea levels, and to ascertain if Age and sex tend to be independent predictors of the degree of metabolic improvement.
