What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of laparoscopic gastric sleeve (LGS) surgery on weight loss and obesity-related health conditions. This study specifically follows patients for five years after surgery to understand the outcomes and identify risk factors for nutritional deficiencies that may develop after the procedure. Patients who have undergone LGS at Tartu University Hospital for morbid obesity are followed in this prospective cohort study. Follow-up outpatient visits are scheduled at 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years after surgery to monitor progress and health status. Participants attend these follow-up visits where their weight, obesity-related conditions, and nutritional status are assessed. The main measurement is the five-year outcome of the surgery. Researchers track changes over time to understand the surgery's long-term impact and any nutritional risks, with a total participation duration of five years post-operation.
