Advantages of Sleeve Gastrectomy Over Gastric Bypass for Private Pay Patients Seeking Obesity Surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a safer surgery
than the gastric bypass, gives similar weight losses and that the safety of gastric in
private pay patients versus insurance patients will be similar. This is a retrospective
chart review of intervention charts.
than the gastric bypass, gives similar weight losses and that the safety of gastric in
private pay patients versus insurance patients will be similar. This is a retrospective
chart review of intervention charts.
This study is a retrospective chart review of 800 intervention charts each for consecutive
laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies compared to consecutive laparoscopic gastric bypasses
performed by two surgeons in a Louisiana private practice. This retrospective chart review
will evaluate the safety of the two procedures during the operative and 6-week
post-operative periods, compare the insurance patients to the private pay patients having
the gastric bypass, and comparative weight loss in subjects with a follow-up of at least 18
months. This offers the unique opportunity to compare any differences in surgical
complications in subjects paying by insurance versus those paying personally for the gastric
bypass operation.
