BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most recent advances in the surgical treatment of morbid @entity28 . Extended follow-up studies of large cohorts are needed to establish the usefulness of the operation. The objectives of this study are to delineate the role of sleeve gastrectomy in @entity353 and in comorbidities among @entity28 @entity1 . METHODS: @entity1 who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in a single bariatric center were followed up for a 3-year period. Weight loss and status of several comorbidities were assessed at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th, 18th, 24(th), and 36th postoperative month. RESULTS: Overall, after 3  years of follow-up of 88 @entity1 , the mean body mass index (BMI) of the @entity1 was 29.8  kg/m(2) (SD   6.1), the % total @entity353 was 38.1  % (SD   12.9), the % excess @entity353 was 69.5  % (SD   17.5), and the % estimated BMI loss was 81.4  % (SD   22.3). These parameters changed significantly over the first year of follow-up (p  <  0.001) and subsequently stabilized. The percentages of @entity1 with @entity101 (33.3  %), @entity407 (26.4  %), @entity6 (20.7  %), @entity27 (20.2  %), and @entity354 ( @entity354 -27  %) were significantly reduced (10.5, 9.2, 1.1, 1.1, and 9.2  % respectively at 36  months postoperation), while 10 new cases of @entity354 appeared postoperatively. However, only three of the new @entity354 cases required medication, and only one of them experienced symptoms that persisted after the 3-year period. CONCLUSION: Three years of close follow-up of @entity1 who had undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy demonstrated satisfactory @entity353 results. Promising results were also obtained regarding various comorbidities of @entity28 @entity1 . Longer follow-up studies for more @entity1 are needed to delineate the exact role of sleeve gastrectomy on postoperative outcomes.
