    Gastric bypass surgery leads to significant long-term declines in bone mineral density (BMD) in women, particularly within the first five years.

    Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent preoperatively and persisted in many patients at 5 and 10 years post-surgery, affecting bone health.

  • 3

    The study observed an increase in osteopenia and osteoporosis among patients over the 10-year follow-up after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

  • 4

    Weight loss after surgery was significant, with a mean decrease in BMI of 12.6 units at 5 years and 11.6 units at 10 years.

    Fractures occurred in four patients between 5 and 10 years post-surgery, with two of these patients having developed osteopenia.
