Total weight loss (TWL), status of type 2 diabetes (T2D), hyperlipidemia, and hypertension were assessed following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).Results: Of 2851 included patients, 62.6% were female and 94.0% Emirati. Pre-operatively, mean age was 34.2 ± 0.2 years, median BMI was 41.0 (IQR 37.8– 45.2) kg/m2; 92.5% had SG and 7.5% RYGB. %TWL (95% confidence interval) for RYGB was 31.2% (30.0– 32.5), 30.9% (29.0– 32.9) and 28.4% (23.0– 33.8) at 1, 3 and 5 years. Following SG, %TWL was 29.9% (29.5– 30.3), 25.8% (25.0– 26.7) and 23.4% (21.6– 25.2) for the same intervals. The proportion of total operated patients included was 60.2%, 43.7% and 33.8% respectively. Men lost more weight than women 12 months after SG, with mean %TWL of 32.5% (31.8– 33.2) vs 28.4% (27.9– 28.9) respectively. T2D remission (HbA1c < 6.5% without diabetes medications) after SG was 61.9% (179/289) at 1 year and 40.9% (18/44) at 5 years. RYGB favored T2D remission over SG at 12 months, OR=2.272 (1.152– 4.65). There was no difference between procedures for hypertension status, although remission from hyperlipidemia was higher 1 year after RYGB at 41.8% (23/55) compared to SG 16.4% (78/475) (p< 0.001).Conclusion: In this young Emirati cohort, RYGB was associated with more weight loss and favored T2D and hyperlipidemia remission over SG. Women lost less weight than men after SG. Weight recurrence from 1 to 5 years after SG was greater than the international average. Further research is required to explain these differences and improve outcomes.Keywords: type 2 diabetes, Arab, total weight loss, weight recurrence, diabetes remission, metabolic surgery |
