Abstract
Objective
The objective of this study is to compare the weight evolution and serum concentrations of vitamin D in individuals undergoing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and Sleeve after 1 follow-up year.
Methodology
Descriptive, prospective, and longitudinal study, with 108 individuals divided into 2 groups: RYGB (55 patients) and Sleeve (53), evaluated preoperatively, and at 6 and 12 postoperatively months. Anthropometric data, serum concentrations of 25(OH)D, calcium, and parathyroid hormone were analyzed.
Results
The Sleeve group showed greater reductions in excess weight and excess body mass index (BMI) when compared with the RYGB group at both times (p < 0.001). Besides, after 12 months, those who had undergone the Sleeve procedure also had higher percentages of surgical success (84.4% versus 65.0%, p = 0.038). The prevalence of preoperative inadequacy of 25(HO)D in both groups was 78.7%. After 6 months, there was an increase in serum concentrations of 25(HO)D in both groups (p < 0.001), but without significant differences between the groups (p = 0.154). In the comparison between 6 and 12 months, there was only a reduction for the RYGB group (p = 0.001). Also, when comparing both groups, the means of vitamin D in patients undergoing RYGB were also lower after 12 months (p = 0.003). There was a negative correlation between vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (r = − 0.235 p = 0.030). The mean serum concentrations of calcium were adequate at all times.
Conclusion
Patients undergoing the Sleeve procedure had a better evolution in weight loss and are at a lower risk of vitamin D inadequacy than those undergoing RYGB.
