Application of side-to-side anastomosis of the lesser curvature of stomach and jejunum in gastric bypass

Table 3 Determination of body mass index and glycosylated hemoglobin before and after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery

Follow-up		Pre-op.	3 mo Post-op.	6 mo Post-op.	12 mo Post-op.	24 mo Post-op.	F value	P value
12 mo (n = 56)	BMI (kg/m2)	32.3 ± 5.0	26.6 ± 4.5	25.3 ± 4.1	24.9 ± 4.0	/	33.738	0.000
	HbA1c (%)	8.1 ± 1.6	6.2 ± 1.0	5.7 ± 0.6	6.1 ± 1.1	/	47.506	0.000
24 mo (n = 33)	BMI (kg/m2)	31.2 ± 3.5	25.8 ± 3.5	24.3 ± 3.1	24.0 ± 2.9	24.4 ± 2.9	29.550	0.000
	HbA1c (%)	8.5 ± 1.7	6.2 ± 0.9	5.5 ± 0.7	5.7 ± 0.6	6.2 ± 1.0	41.135	0.000

BMI and HbA1c determined at 3, 6, 12, 24 mo postoperationwere significantly reduced compared with the preoperative baselines. BMI: Body mass index; HbA1c: Glycosylated hemoglobin; LRYGB: Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
