Abstract

This study was a Meta-Analysis of bariatric procedures that took 2738 studies from their search and narrowed the population to 136 after eliminating studies that either met exclusion criteria or did not meet inclusion criteria. The mean BMI of the patient population was 46. Patients experienced (95% CI) 47%-70% loss of excess weight depending on the type of procedure they had. Also, 70-85% patients also experienced a reduction or complete reversal of Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, Hyperlipidemia, and Hypertension. Mortality of the procedures was less than 1%
