Background
Pancreatic steatosis has been associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Studies in adults have demonstrated improvement in pancreatic steatosis following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) with concomitant improvement in glucose homeostasis.
Objectives
To examine changes in pancreatic steatosis in youth with severe obesity 24 months following SG.
Setting
Academic hospital system.
Methods
Forty-seven youth (13–24 years) with severe obesity (37 females) were followed for 24 months; 23 had SG and 24 were nonsurgical (NS) controls. Attenuations of the pancreas and spleen were measured using computed tomography (CT) at baseline, 12- and 24-month follow-up. Subjects underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (SAT, VAT), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for body composition, blood sampling for glycated hemoglobin (A1C), and fasting and postprandial insulin and glucose. Linear mixed effects (LMEs) models were used to compare within- and between-group changes over 24 months.
Results
At baseline, SG had higher body mass index (BMI) versus NS (P = .033). Over 24 months, significant reductions were noted in weight, BMI, VAT, SAT, fat mass (FM), and lean mass (LM) in the SG versus NS groups (P ≤ .0001). There was a significant 24-month decrease in pancreatic steatosis in the SG group (P = .006). In the whole group, 24-month reductions in pancreatic steatosis correlated with BMI and FM decreases. No associations were found between pancreatic steatosis and glucose homeostasis parameters.
Conclusions
Pancreatic steatosis measured by CT improved after SG in youth. Further studies are needed to understand the relationship between pancreatic steatosis and glucose homeostasis.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is one of the effective methods of weight loss. It is essential to determine patients' regret and predictive factors to improve their quality of life and comfort. No study has investigated decision regret and affecting factors in patients undergoing SG in Turkey.
Objectives
The study aimed to determine the relationship of decision regret with quality of life and comfort level in patients undergoing SG.
Setting
The research was carried out with patients who had undergone SG in a private hospital in the west of Turkey.
Methods
The research was conducted as a descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study. Data were collected between March and May 2023, and the study was completed with 286 patients. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Decision Regret Scale (DRS), Quality of Life Following Obesity Surgery Scale (QoL-OS), and Comfort Scale.
Results
Patients’ mean score on the DRS was 5.27 ± 13.41 (0-100), the total mean score on the QoL-OS-Biopsychosocial dimension was 79.57 ± 9.35 (18-90), the mean score on the QoL-OS-Complications dimension was 17.17 ± 4.60 (7-35), and the environmental comfort score average was 8.87 ± 2.23 (0-10). Patients’ decision regret was significantly affected by the QoL-OS-Biopsychosocial Area dimension in the first place (Beta = −.516; P < .001), social comfort in the second place (Beta = −.278; P < .001), postoperative weight gain in the third place (Beta = .221; P < .001), and complication development in the fourth place (Beta = .163; P < .001).
Conclusions
The study revealed that patients’ decision regret levels were very low up to 3 years after surgery and found that low postoperative quality of life and social comfort level, postoperative weight gain, and complications affected decision regret.

According to the World Health Organization, obesity is one of the most significant health issues currently because it increases risk for type 2 diabetes and cancer, heart disease, bone health, reproduction, and quality of living and it impacts approximately 500 million adults worldwide. This review analyzed the existing literature focusing on the effects of Metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS), including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy on changes in brain function and anatomy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. A PubMed search using the key words bariatric surgery and MRI conducted in December 2023 resulted in 544 articles. Our literature review identified 24 studies addressing neuroanatomic, neurophysiological, cognitive, and behavioral changes that occurred at different time intervals after different types of bariatric surgery. Our review of the literature found several reports indicating that MBS reverse neuroanatomic alterations and changes in functional connectivity associated with obesity. There were also reported improvements in cognitive performance, memory, executive function, attention, as well as decreased gustatory brain responses to food cues and resting state measures following bariatric surgery. There were instances of improved neural functioning associated with weight loss, suggesting that some neuroanatomic changes can be reversed following weight loss induced by bariatric surgery. Additionally, there were data suggesting that brain connectivity and metabolic health are improved following a bariatric surgical intervention. Together, the existing literature indicates an overall improvement in brain connectivity and health outcomes following bariatric surgery.

The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasing among children in the United States as pediatric obesity rates continue to rise. As such, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has become a more recognized option for treatment of obesity and has been recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Although MBS is known to improve many obesity-associated comorbidities, such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes, less is known about its effect as a treatment for MASLD. This article reviewed the impact MBS has on the course of liver disease as measured by histopathology, serum markers, and radiographic imaging, among adolescents with severe obesity. Improvements were seen in alanine transaminase (ALT) liver enzymes, rates of hepatocyte steatosis, and degree of fibrosis on histopathology, and fat content in the liver on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Greater improvements in ALT were seen in patients with higher baseline values and/or a higher stage of biopsy-confirmed steatohepatitis. Biopsy-proven MASLD and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH) have even been shown to disappear completely, but fibrosis does not completely resolve by 12 months post-MBS. To better understand the outcome of pediatric MASLD following MBS treatment, more longitudinal radiographic data and liver histology in patients with fibrosis would be informative beyond 12 months post-MBS.

Background
Recent research has shown beneficial effects of bariatric surgery (BaS) on the risk of developing acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, this patient population may be at increased risk of complications, especially postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC).
Objectives
To analyze the incidence of PPC in patients with COPD undergoing BaS.
Setting
Academic Hospital, United States.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program database for patients aged ≥18 years undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass during 2015–2019. The primary outcome of the study was any PPC, defined as a composite variable including postoperative pneumonia, mechanical ventilation >48 hours and unplanned endotracheal intubation. A univariate analysis was performed to compare patients with and without COPD, and a multivariate logistic regression was performed to adjust for confounders. A subgroup analysis was performed to compare endpoints in patients with COPD with or without home oxygen requirements.
Results
A total of 752,722 patients were included in our analysis (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy = 73.2%, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass = 26.8%). PPC occurred in 2390 patients, 0.3% without COPD versus 1.3% with COPD (P < .001). Multivariable analysis confirmed that COPD independently increases the risk of PPC (OR = 1.7, CI = 1.4–2.1). Subgroup analysis showed that patients who are oxygen dependent had a much higher risk for PPC (2.4% versus 1.1%, P < .001).
Conclusion
PPC are higher among patients with obesity and concomitant COPD. Oxygen dependency confers an even higher complication rate. The risk and benefits of BaS in this population must be carefully addressed.
