Changes in Bone Metabolism/Mineral Density Months after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Morbidly Obese Pre

loss may result in nutritional deficiencies . Laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is fewer nutritional sequelae. However, there is little LSG. This study aimed Thirty two morbidly obese, premenopausal women 12 months after LSG for: BMD by dual -ray absorptiometry, serum collagen-type I N telopeptide (NTX -terminal propetide of collagen type I (PINP) as markers of bone Twelve months after LSG, there was a significant increase in in femur neck. Significant vitamin D words: Bone metabolism, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, mineral density (Balsiger et deficiencies, including bone metabolism 2008). Restrictive procedures, such as la sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), do not involve modification of the small bowel, so that one may expect a lower rate of postoperative nutritional sequelae 2012). Prospective studies in subjects who have undergone LSG have shown conf assessed bone status using bone mineral density (BMD) (Nogués et al., 2010; Pluskiewicz et al., 2012; Ruiz et al., 2013; Carrasco et al., 2014) assessment using dual-emission X (DXA) is used in the diagnosis of osteoporosis, a low BMD is not the only risk factor for fractures, but is in fact an inefficient tool by itself for identifying those at high risk , 2015
