Background: Long-term bariatric surgery studies are scarce. We report a 5- and 10-year follow-up after bariatric surgery with a focus on patient-centered outcomes. Methods: At the Maastricht University Medical Centre 150 participants completed mailed surveys in 2005 and 2010. Results: In 2005, average weight decreased from 134.5 to 96.2kg, representing a mean weight loss of 28.5%. Body mass index (BMI) decreased 13.3kg/m(2), from 46.5 to 33.2, but patient-to-patient variability was high. In 2010, mean weight and BMI were unchanged when compared with 2005. Reoperation rates were 14% and 27% in 2005 and 2010, respectively, and were negatively associated with satisfaction (trend). In 2010, 40% were satisfied with their current weight, while 74...
