Abstract

Three hundred patients underwent conversion to one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) after prior bariatric surgeries.

  • Body mass index (BMI) decreased from 45.1 kg/m² at the time of the first intervention to 30.5 kg/m² at the last follow-up.
  • The mean percentage of excess BMI loss increased from 13.2% at conversion to 73.4% after OAGB.
  • Remission rates for co-morbidities included 40% for hypertension, 62.5% for diabetes, 58.7% for gastroesophageal reflux, and 52% for dyslipidemia.
  • Mean follow-up duration was 20.8 months, with an overall complications rate of 8.6%.
  • OAGB may be considered a safe and effective option for patients who failed previous restrictive bariatric surgeries.
