Unraveling the Enigma of Post-sleeve Differential Liquid Tolerance: A Time-Resolved MRI Study
Time-resolved gastric MRI is a useful tool to explain the roots of post-LSG differential liquid tolerance. The gastric antrum is the only coordinated and functionally motile part of the gastric sleeve. An overall significantly improved motility pattern trend was achieved by the end of the study, with the increase in antral contraction height being the most consistent component of that trend. Water tolerance improves significantly 6 months after LSG but remains worse than juice tolerance.
