Some stressed on the frequency of major digestive lesions such as esophagitis, cancer or endo brachy esophagus (EBO) especially after Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG). The incidence of EBO after SG was found in 1.2% to 15% at ten years of follow up.

Many studies but not all showed an increase in employment after bariatric surgery by 17–29%. We analyzed the relation of this increase of employment rate with weight loss, satisfaction and deprivation score.

We mailed to 791 patients a simple self-questionnaire to assess the employment status deprivation, satisfaction scale and Barros...
