Abstract

Objective: This case study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy surgery in an obese patient with Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) and to explore the potential role of bariatric surgery in improving clinical outcomes and promoting a more physiological body composition when dietary and physical interventions fail.

Methods: We describe a case of an obese LOPD patient who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, with clinical follow-up conducted to monitor motor and respiratory functions, as well as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), over time.

Results: The surgery was well-tolerated without significant complications, and prolonged stability in motor and respiratory functions was observed. Furthermore, the patient reported improvements in quality of life and PROMs following weight loss.

Conclusion: This case suggests that bariatric surgery, specifically sleeve gastrectomy, may be a safe and effective complementary strategy for weight loss in LOPD patients, offering benefits in functional stability, and quality of life.
