- BACKGROUND: Symptomatic postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a known complication that can occur a few years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). There is currently no established rating scale for PBH-associated symptoms developed for use in Swedish populations. The aim of the study was to translate an already existing questionnaire into Swedish and to test its reliability.METHODS: The study included forward and backward translations of the original Dumping Severity Scale (DSS) questionnaire with 8 items regarding symptoms of early dumping and 6 items regarding hypoglycemia, with each item graded on a 4-point Likert scale. The reliability of the Swedish translated questionnaire (DSS-Swe) was estimated using internal consistency and test-retest methods.RESULTS: A total of 200 patients were included in the study. Good internal consistency was demonstrated regarding the items related to early dumping symptoms, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.82, and very good agreement in terms of test-retest reliability, with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.91 (95% CI 0.88-0.93). The items related to hypoglycemia yielded a good Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.76 and an ICC of 0.89 (95% CI 0.85-0.91).CONCLUSION: The DSS-Swe questionnaire shows good reliability regarding both internal consistency and test-retest performance for use in Swedish populations.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to study longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in females over a 10-year period after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).METHODS: at baseline, were included. BMD, BMI, S-calcium, S-25(OH)-vitamin D, and fP-PTH were measured preoperatively and 2, 5, and 10 years postoperatively.RESULTS: Ten years after surgery, BMD of the spine and femoral neck decreased by 20% and 25%, respectively. Changes in serum levels of vitamin D, PTH, and calcium over the same period were small.CONCLUSION: After LRYGB with subsequent massive weight loss, a large decrease in BMD of the spine and femoral neck was seen over a 10-year postoperative period. The fall in BMD largely occurred over the first 5 years after surgery.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: The aim of the present study was to see if there are longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D or parathyroid hormone (PTH) in females 5 years after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB).Methods: Thirty-two women with mean age 41.6 ± 9.3 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 44.5 ± 4.6 kg/m(2) were included. Preoperatively, 2 and 5 years postoperatively, BMD, weight, height, S-calcium, S-albumin, S-creatinine, S-25(OH)-vitamin D and fP-PTH were measured.Results: The mean decrease in BMI between baseline and 5 years after surgery was 29.4 %. BMD of the spine and femur measured as z- and t-scores, showed a linear, statistically significant declining trend over the years. The fall in BMD of the spine and femoral neck between baseline and 5 years after surgery was 19 and 25 %, respectively. The mean fP-PTH showed a significant increase over the study period (20.2 μg/L increase, 95 % CI:-31.99 to -8.41). S-calcium, both free and corrected for albumin, showed a decrease between baseline and 5 years after surgery. Eight patients developed osteopenia and one osteoporosis after a 5-year follow-up.Conclusion: LRYGB is an efficient method for sustained long-term body weight loss. There is, however, a concomitant decrease in BMD and S-calcium, and an increase in fP-PTH.

Health-Related Quality-of-Life (HRQoL) on an Average of 12 Years After Gastric Bypass Surgery
- 2015

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It is evident that morbidly obese patients have a low health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL), and this low HRQoL has become a common reason for them to seek bariatric surgery. Several HRQoL studies demonstrate a dramatic postoperative improvement, but most of these have had a short follow-up period.An observational, cross-sectional study for HRQoL was conducted to study 486 patients (average age of 50.7 +/- 10.0 years, with 84 % of them being female) operated with gastric bypass (GBP) in the period 1993 to 2003 at the University Hospitals of A-rebro and Uppsala. Mean follow-up after gastric bypass was 11.5 +/- 2.7 years (range 7-17). Two HRQoL instruments were used, SF-36 and the Obesity-related Problems scale (OP). The study group was compared with two control groups, both matched for age and gender, one from the general population and one containing morbidly obese patients evaluated and awaiting bariatric surgery.The study group scored better in the SF-36 domains (all four physical domains and the vitality subscore) and OP scale compared to obese controls, but their HRQoL scores were lower than those of the general population. HRQoL was better among younger patients and in the following subgroups: men, patients with satisfactory weight loss, satisfied with the procedure, free from co-morbidities and gastrointestinal symptoms, employment, good oral status and those not hospitalised or regularly followed up for non-bariatric reasons.Long-term follow-up after GBP for morbid obesity showed better scores in most aspects of HRQoL compared to obese controls but did not achieve the levels of the general population. Patients with better medical outcome after gastric bypass operation had better HRQoL.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Bariatric surgery improves insulin sensitivity and secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes, but the effect on patients with prediabetes or even normal glucose tolerance deserves further consideration.Methods: Cohort study including patients operated with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (LRYGB) between November 2012 and June 2017 at the orebro University Hospital (n = 813) with follow-up of 742 patients 2 years after surgery. Fasting insulin, glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were analyzed at baseline and 2 years after surgery for patients with overt type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or non-diabetes.Results: Fasting insulin levels improved for all groups (diabetics baseline 25.5 mIU/L, IQR 17.5-38.0, 2 years 7.6 mIU/L, IQR 5.4-11.1, p < 0.001; prediabetics baseline 25.0 mIU/L, IQR 17.5-35.0, 2 years 6.7mIU/L, IQR 5.3-8.8, p < 0.001; non-diabetics baseline 20.0 mIU/L, IQR 14.0-30.0, 2 years 6.4 mIU/L, IQR 5.0-8.5, p < 0.001). HbA1c improved in all groups (diabetics baseline 56 mmol/mol, IQR 49-74 [7.3%, IQP 6.6-8.9], 2 years 38 mmol/mol, IQR 36-47 [5.6%, IQR 5.4-6.4], p < 0.001; prediabetics baseline 40 mmol/mol, IQR 39-42 [5.8%, IQR5.7-6.0], 2 years 36 mmol/mol, IQR 34-38 [5.5%, IQR 5.3-5.6], p < 0.001; non-diabetics baseline 35 mmol/mol, IQR 33-37 [5.4%, IQR 5.2-5.5]; 2 years 34 mmol/mol, IQR 31-36 [5.3%, IQR 5.0-5.4], p < 0.001). HOMA-IR improved in all groups (diabetics baseline 9.3 mmol/mol, IQR 5.4-12.9, 2 years 1.9 mmol/mol, IQR 1.4-2.7, p < 0.001; prediabetics baseline 7.0 mmol/mol, IQR 4.3-9.9, 2 years 1.6 mmol/mol, IQR 1.2-2.1, p < 0.001; non-diabetics 4.9 mmol/mol, IQR 3.4-7.3, 2 years 1.4 mmol/mol, IQR 1.1-1.9, p < 0.001).Conclusion: Insulin homeostasis and glucometabolic control improve in all patients after LRYGB, not only in diabetics but also in prediabetics and non-diabetic obese patients, and this improvement is sustained 2 years after surgery.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BACKGROUND: The optimal sleeve diameter and distance from the pylorus to the edge of the resection line in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) remain controversial.OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of bougie size and antral resection distance from the pylorus on postoperative complications and weight-loss results in LSG.SETTING: Nationwide registry-based study.METHODS: This study included all LSGs performed in Sweden between 2012 and 2019. Data were obtained from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. Reference bougie size of 35-36 Fr and an antral resection distance of 5 cm from the pylorus were compared to narrower bougie size (30-32 Fr), shorter distances (1-4 cm), and extended distances (6-8 cm) from the pylorus in assessing postoperative complications and weight loss as the outcomes of LSG. RESULTS: The study included 9,360 patients with postoperative follow-up rates of 96%, 79%, and 50% at 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years, respectively. Narrow bougie and short antral resection distance from the pylorus were significantly associated with increased postoperative weight loss. Bougie size was not associated with increased early or late complications. However, short antral resection distance was associated with high risk of overall early complications [odds ratio: 1.46 (1.17-1.82, P = .001)], although no impact on late complications at 1 and 2 years was observed.CONCLUSIONS: Using a narrow bougie and initiating resection closer to the pylorus were associated with greater maximum weight loss. Although a closer resection to the pylorus was associated with an increased risk of early postoperative complications, no association was observed with the use of narrow bougie for LSG.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as a primary bariatric procedure has gained increasing popularity world-wide. However, controversies still exist regarding several operative aspects, such as the optimal diameter of thesleeve and the optimal distance from the pylorus to the edge of the resection line, and whether these aspects haveeffects on weight-loss results and the risk to develop postoperative complications.Objective: The aim of this study was to compare weight-loss results and the incidence of postoperative complications betweensleeve with different diameters measured in bougie size and with different distances from the pylorus to the edge ofthe resection line measured in centimeter.Setting: Nationwide registry-based study.Method: This study is an analysis of sleeve gastrectomy performed in Sweden between 2012 and 2019. Data were collectedfrom Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg). Patients with bougie size 30-32 and 35-36 and patients withdistance from pylorus 1-4 cm, 5 cm, 6-8 cm were identified and compared regarding weight-loss results and the riskto develop postoperative complications.Results: 9,360 patients were included. Follow-up rate was 96% at day 30, 78.8% at one year and 50% at two years. Bothbougie size 30-32 compared to 35-36 and distance from the pylorus 1-4 cm compared to 5 cm were associated withsignificant higher weight-loss at one and two years. No difference in the risk for early or late complications was seenbetween bougie size groups 30-32 and 35-36. Resection starting 1-4 cm from the pylorus compared to 5 cm was as-sociated with higher risk for overall early postoperative complications (OR 1.46 (1.17-1.82, P=.001)), but there wasno significant difference in the risk to develop late complication at 1 and 2 years. No difference in the leak rate andin the risk to develop stricture was seen between different Bougie sizes, nor distances from the Pylorus.Conclusion: Using a smaller Bougie size and starting the resection closer to the pylorus was associated with better maximumweight-loss. Closer resection to the Pylorus, but not Bougie size was associated with increased risk for early postop-erative complications after sleeve gastrectomy.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Objectives: Gastric bypass surgery constitutes the most common and effective bariatric surgery to treat obesity. Gastric bypass leads to bone oss but fracture risk following surgery has been insufficiently studied. Our objective was to investigate if gastric bypass surgery in obese patients, with and without diabetes, was associated with fracture risk, and if the fracture risk was associated with post-surgery weight loss or insufficient calcium and vitamin D supplementation.Methods: Using large databases, 38 971 obese patients undergoing gastric bypass were identified, 7758 with diabetes and 31 213 without. Through multivariable 1:1 propensity score matching, well-balanced controls were identified. The risk of fracture and fall injury was investigated using Cox proportional hazards and flexible parameter models. Fracture risk according to weight loss and degree of calcium and vitamin D supplementation one year post-surgery was investigated.Results: 77 942 patients had a median and total follow-up time of 3.1 (IQR 1.7-4.6) and 251 310 person-years, respectively. Gastric bypass was associated with increased risk of any fracture, in patients with diabetes and without diabetes using a multivariable Cox model (HR 1.26, 95%CI 1.05-1.53 and HR 1.32, 95%CI 1.18-1.47, respectively). The risk of fall injury without fracture was also increased after gastric bypass, both in patients with (HR 1.26 95%CI 1.04-1.52) and without diabetes (HR 1.24 95%CI 1.12-1.38). Weight loss or degree of calcium and vitamin D supplementation after gastric bypass were not associated with fracture risk.Conclusions: Gastric bypass was associated with an increased risk of fracture and fall injury. Weight loss or calcium and vitamin D supplementation following surgery were not associated with fracture risk. These findings indicate that gastric bypass increases fracture risk, which could at least partly be due to increased susceptibility to falls.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Gastric bypass surgery constitutes the most common and effective bariatric surgery to treat obesity. Gastric bypass leads to bone loss, but fracture risk following surgery has been insufficiently studied. Furthermore, the association between gastric bypass and fracture risk has not been studied in patients with diabetes, which is a risk factor for fracture and affected by surgery. In this retrospective cohort study using Swedish national databases, 38 971 obese patients undergoing gastric bypass were identified, 7758 with diabetes and 31 213 without. An equal amount of well-balanced controls were identified through multivariable 1:1 propensity score matching. The risk of fracture and fall injury was investigated using Cox proportional hazards and flexible parameter models. Fracture risk according to weight loss and degree of calcium and vitamin D supplementation one-year post- surgery was investigated. During a median follow-up time of 3.1 (IQR 1.7-4.6) years, gastric bypass was associated with increased risk of any fracture, in patients with and without diabetes using a multivariable Cox model (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.05- 1.53 and HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.18-1.47, respectively). Using flexible parameter models, the fracture risk appeared to increase with time. The risk of fall injury without fracture was also increased after gastric bypass. Larger weight loss or poor calcium and vitamin D supplementation after surgery were not associated with increased fracture risk. In conclusion, gastric bypass surgery is associated with an increased fracture risk, which appears to be increasing with time and not associated with degree of weight loss or calcium and vitamin D supplementation following surgery. An increased risk of fall injury was seen after surgery, which could contribute to the increased fracture risk. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
