title: Effective weight control and normalization of metabolic parameters after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a single center experience.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Obesity is one of the most serious public health problems. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), a type of bariatric surgery, is emerging as the new promising therapy for the treatment of morbid obesity.
  
  
  METHODS
  In the present study we aimed to assess the effects of LSG on body weight and other obesity related pathological conditions.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 19 obese subjects underwent LSG surgery. All patients underwent complete evaluation including anthropometric/clinical parameters and laboratory tests. Hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM), body mass index (BMI), and hyperlipidemia were significantly reduced after LSG.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Results of this study demonstrate that LSG induces stable weight loss and resolution of obesity-associated comorbidities.
