    The study assessed bone mineral density (BMD) changes in 241 obese patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) over 12 months.

  • 2

    BMD decreased at almost all sites at 6 months post-LSG and continued to decline, with total BMD at 1.220 g/cm2 at 12 months.

  • 3

    Men experienced a greater decline in BMD compared to premenopausal women, particularly at the spine, with significant differences noted.

  • 4

    Leg BMD did not decline at 6 months but decreased by 12 months, indicating varied patterns of bone loss post-surgery.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for monitoring bone health in patients undergoing LSG due to significant BMD loss observed.
