Summary

Obesity is a major global public health concern, and bariatric surgery is recognized as the most effective treatment for achieving sustained weight loss and improving obesity-related comorbidities. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures; however, long-term outcomes vary considerably among individuals. While some patients maintain satisfactory weight loss, others experience suboptimal weight loss or weight regain several years after surgery. Evidence suggests that long-term weight trajectories after SG may be influenced by metabolic changes, dietary habits, and lifestyle factors, highlighting the need for extended follow-up studies. This observational cohort study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of individuals who underwent sleeve gastrectomy approximately 8 years ago. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters, and nutritional status will be reassessed at an 8-year follow-up visit and compared with data obtained during the preoperative period and at postoperative 6 months. By examining within-subject changes over time, this study seeks to provide insight into the long-term sustainability of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy and to identify metabolic and nutritional factors associated with long-term outcomes.
