Abstract

Among 109 morbidly obese patients, transit bipartition with sleeve gastrectomy (TB-SG) was associated with significantly less deficiency of key vitamins and minerals compared to distal-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (D-RYGB).

  • D-RYGB resulted in higher weight loss rates in the first 3 months, but the percentage of excess weight loss was similar at 12 months.
  • Early weight loss from D-RYGB led to faster glycemic control, yet no significant differences in metabolic outcomes were observed between the two groups.
  • TB-SG had significantly lower rates of deficiency in vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, and folic acid at the end of the follow-up period.
  • Anastomosis leakage was reported more frequently with the D-RYGB technique, although overall complication rates were similar between both groups.
