Abstract

PURPOSE
This study aimed to compare amount of weight loss, serum laboratory results, and bariatric analysis and reporting outcome system (BAROS) scores obtained before surgery with those obtained 1 year after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (AGB).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January 2013 to November 2014, 32 consecutive patients who underwent AGB were enrolled in this study. This study was a retrospective analysis of our prospectively collected database. The BAROS score included BAROS weight, medical condition, quality of life, and complications recorded 1 year after AGB. Demographic and post-operative data were also collected and analyzed.
RESULTS
Thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study, comprising 26 women and 6 men, with an average body mass index of 39.0±6.1 kg/m². The total BAROS score 1 year post AGB was 4.6±1.7, and it was classified as excellent grade. Among them, the quality of life score was 1.8±0.6. Four minor complications were noted. The serum laboratory values improved 1 year post surgery, including hemoglobin A1c, c-peptide, insulin, Homeostatic model assessment of estimated insulin resistance (HOMA IR), Homeostatic model assessment of beta-cell function (HOMA B), triglyceride, total protein, and uric acid.
CONCLUSION
AGB showed that it is acceptable in aspect of BAROS outcome as well as weight loss, and serum laboratory result in short-term period.
