AbstractBackgroundWeight loss (5–10%) improves obesity-associated cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of this work was to study the effect of 2 commonly performed bariatric surgical procedures; laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and laparoscopic gastric band (BAND), on the cardiovascular risk profile in morbidly obese patients and its correlation with the plasma apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV level.Patient and methodThis study was carried prospectively on 34 patients scheduled for bariatric surgery. They were randomly assigned into two groups; group 1=BAND (18 cases), group 2=gastric bypass RYGBP (16 cases). Both groups were studied preoperatively and twelve months after surgery. Data collected included changes of body mass index (BM...
