The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on parameters of MetS in obese patients 2 years after surgery. Methods: Between March 2013 and June 2019 1333 patients, who underwent LSG, were enrolled in this study; patients fulfilling the following conditions were considered eligible for LSG: body mass index (BMI) >= 40kg/m(2) or BMI >35kg/m(2) with comorbidities or BMI between 30 and 35kg/m(2) with T2DM or MetS. The patients were followed up by outpatient visits that were scheduled at 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months postoperatively and annually thereafter. Results: One thousand three hundred and thirty-three patients underwent LSG. The mean age was 40.9310.86; 954 (71.5%) patients were female. After 2 years of surgery there was a significant improvement in glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, the homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p<0.0001) with no significant reduction in serum total cholesterol (p=0.392) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p=0.692) levels. Conclusions: LSG is an effective treatment for MetS and obesity related comorbidities.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSleeve GastrectomyMetabolic SyndromeBariatric SurgeryLipid ProfileArticle1512226WOS:0004976992000012-s2.0-85082533442Q410.1089/bari.2019.0052Q2
