HYPOTHESIS: An analysis of patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may identify factors predictive of complication and of suboptimal weight loss. DESIGN: Inception cohort. SETTING: Metropolitan university hospital. PATIENTS: One hundred eighty-eight consecutive patients with severe obesity who met National Institutes of Health consensus guidelines for bariatric surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Laparoscopic RYGB. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Complications requiring therapeutic intervention and percentage of excess body weight lost at 1 year after surgery. RESULTS: Of the 188 patients who underwent laparoscopic RYGB, 50 (26.6%) developed complications that required an invasive therapeutic intervention, including 2 deaths. The averag...
