  • Title: Fate of weight. Ten-year observations after jejunoileal bypass for obesity.
    Author: Wiklund B.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1982; 148(5):443-52. PubMed ID: 7180342.
    Abstract:
    In 182 patients weight results up to ten years after various types of jejuno-ileal bypass for obesity are presented. Initially end-to-end operated patients had a significantly greater weight loss than end-to-side operated but the significance disappeared from six years and on. Five years after the operation 19% of the patients were still losing weight. Mean weight loss after this time was 33% and 36% of the patients had a body weight at or below Broca's index 1.25 which is considered excellent or good. Median regain of lost weight was 22% five years after minimum.
