A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent LSG from June 2004 to June 2008 provided data on demographics body mass index BMI changes comorbidities and medication changes We compared lipid profiles and the relationship between the lipid profiles and preoperative weight BMI and weight loss Proportion changes for all variables were also assessed Lipid profiles for those taking lipidlowering therapy and patients receiving no medication were evaluatedData is presented on 45 patients 58 women ages 18 to 73 years Comorbidities included hypertension 19 hyperlipidemia 22 and diabetes 13 One year after LSG weight decreased from 1614 ± 343 to 1129 ± 256 kg p 001 BMI decreased from 575 ± 96 to 399 ± 71 kg/m2 p 001 Patients with elevated triglycerides decreased from 17 to 8 p 001 while patients with elevated cholesterol increased from 13 to 15 Highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol HDL increased from 484 to 545 mg/dl p 001 and triglycerides TG decreased from 1417 to 1093 mg/dl p 001 TC/HDL and TG/HDL ratios also decreased significantly p 001 There were no changes for total cholesterol TC and lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol LDL TG/HDL changes correlated with preop weight r = 0363 p 005
