Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass vs. Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy for Diabetic Patients: 5 year outcomes

Vanessa Boudreau, MD, Karen Barlow, Hons, BSc, Scott Gmora, MD, Dennis Hong, MD, Mehran Anvari, MD, PhD. Center for Minimal Access Surgery, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada

Introduction: Bariatric surgery is a known effective treatment for diabetes in obese patients. 

Methods: Analysis of the Ontario Bariatric Registry data was performed to compare long term outcomes in diabetic patients who underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) or Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) between 2010-2018. Intention-to-treat analysis was performed.  Results include conversions and revisions.

Results:  Of the 5,101 diabetic patients that underwent bariatric surgery, 4,244 (83%) had RYGB (BMI 48.2, age 49.1; 75% female) and 847 (16.6%) had VSG (BMI 53.3, age 52.5; 69.1% female).  There were 786 patients with RYGB available for follow up at 3 years and 198 patients at 5 years.  Among the VSG patients, 92 were available for follow-up at 3 years and 17 at 5 years.  There were 38 VSG patients that required a conversion due to weight regain/ineffective weight loss compared to 2 RYGB patients.  Data below includes converted patients using intention to treat analysis.

Conclusion : Both RYGB and VSG are effective with favorable weight loss and diabetes control.  RYGB resulted in lower diabetes medication use and lower HbA1c at each follow-up.
