There are different explanations concerning observed improvement of glucose control after baiatric gatric bypass surgery. The aim of our study was to investigate GLP-1 response after test meal (Fresubin drink a 200 ml; 200 kcal, 15% protein, 30% fat and 55% carbohydrate) before (day 0) and 5; 90 and 180 days after gastric bypass surgery. Glycaemia (mmol/l; glucose oxidase) and GLP-1 (Active 7-36) (pM/l; ELISA, ALPCO diagnostics) were determined in 41 obese patients (age: 37.86...

Bariatric surgery, especially malapsorptive procedures like gastric bypass, can lead to anaemia due to lack of iron absorption as well as vitamins essential for the normal functioning of the hematopoietic system.Methods: We have analysed changes in red blood cells (RBC), haemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells (WBC), serum iron (Fe), and vitamin B12 3 years after gastric bypass in 142 morbidly obese patients (female, n=108 and male, n=34). ...

After weight loss, especially after bariatric surgery there is improvement in blood pressure, metabolic parameters and ventilatory anaerobic threshold.Material and methods: Ergospirometry (Shiller CS-200, Bruce protocol) was performed in 50 obese patients before and six months afte...
