Popis: Food tolerance has been related to quality of life after bariatric surgery. However, long-term results about this issue are quite limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term food tolerance in obese patients submitted to surgery, comparing the results between gastric bypass (GBP), long alimentary modified biliopancreatic diversion (MBPD), and long alimentary modified duodenal switch (MDS). A cross-sectional analytic study was performed. Food tolerance was studied with a questionnaire based on subjective alimentary satisfaction, tolerance to different foods, and frequency of vomiting and regurgitation. A food tolerance score was obtained (1 point being the worst possible tolerance and 27 points being a perfect one). Information was obtained with a telephone interview. One hundred ninety-six patients submitted to bariatric surgery were included. Ninety-nine patients were submitted to GBP, 54 to MBPD, and 43 to MDS. One hundred and sixty-one patients (82.1%) were not lost during a mean follow-up time of 87.9 months. Mean food tolerance score was 24.2. Tolerance satisfaction was good or excellent in 73.3% of the patients. Red meat was the worst tolerated food, but nearly 80% of the patients could tolerate it without any problem. Mean food tolerance score was 24.6, 24.0, and 23.7 for GBP, MBPD, and MDS, respectively. There were no significant differences between these procedures in food tolerance score, alimentary satisfaction, or frequency of vomiting. Long-term food tolerance after bariatric surgery is good. No differences between GBP, MBPD, and MDS were found.
