Popis: Background Criteria for undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is restricted among patients with a body mass index (BMI) Objectives To determine if low-BMI patients experience similar health benefits after SG compared with patients with a BMI ≥35 kg/m2. Setting Teaching and nonteaching hospitals in Michigan. Methods Patients with a BMI Results Low-BMI patients were more likely to be older (50.7 versus 45.4 yr, P Conclusions Despite being older and with higher rates of metabolic disease, low-BMI patients reported high-resolution rates for diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia (>50%) and were more likely to achieve a healthy weight after SG. Abolishing the BMI threshold for SG among patients with metabolic disease should be considered.
