The Impact of Preoperative Weight Loss on Long-term Success: 5-year Outcomes After Metabolic Bariatric Surgery
Greater preoperative weight loss was associated with significant higher %TWL up to two years (quartiles) and four years (low vs high) after MBS, but no significant differences were found after five years of follow up. The impact of preoperative weight loss on long-term outcomes was consistent across subgroups. Female sex, RYGB procedure and younger age were general predictors for greater %TWL.
