Obesity is the most common human metabolic disorder that causes many complications for patients worldwide. On the other hand, Sleeve Gastrectomy is one of the bariatric surgeries that are used by surgeons in morbid obese patients to treat obesity. The aim of this study was to survey on results of Sleeve gastrectomy and its subsequent complications among Iranian patients.

Methods

This is a case series study in which data of 92 morbid obese patients were gathered. Patients were followed up at intervals of 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months after operation. History of post-operative complications, appetite and satisfaction were taken from patients, physical examination was performed as well as measuring weight and BMI in follow-up visits. Ultrasonography was performed in 6, 12 and 18 months after the surgery for assessing gallbladder.

Results

Mean BMI (body mass index) was 45.43 (± 8.41) kg/m2 in patients. Mean BMI reduction was respectively 4.5 (±1.12), 9.03 (±2.44), 13.45 (±3.45), 17.57 (±4.66), 19.82 (±5.78), 17.57 (±4.66) and 19.82 (±5.78) kg/m2 at 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months after operation, respectively. Mean weight loss was 71.5% 18 months after operation.
