Do patients with higher baseline BMI have improved weight loss with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass versus sleeve gastrectomy?

In conclusion, patients with lower baseline BMI had improved %EWL regardless of procedure, but those patients with higher baseline BMI who underwent LRYGB did have higher %EWL than those undergoing SG at 2 years follow-up. BMI is one of many key factors when selecting a procedure for an individual patient.
