Prospectively validated preoperative prediction of weight and co-morbidity resolution in individual patients comparing five bariatric operations

Prospectively validated preoperative models predict, in individual patients, weight and obesity co-morbidities 2 years in advance for RYGB, LRYGB, LAGB, SG, and BPD/DS. This advance knowledge facilitates choosing the operation that is best for each individual and may encourage more patients to choose bariatric surgery.
