Outcomes of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in super-super-obese patients

LRYGB appears well tolerated for super-super-obese patients with BMI≥60 kg/m2 in experienced centers. These patients still have significant reduction in excess BMI despite being less than NonSSO patients undergoing RYGB. The ACS NSQIP database provides excellent tracking of institutional progress with bariatric surgical outcomes to facilitate the improvement of best practice techniques.
