Obesity, Morbid Overnutrition Nutrition Disorders Overweight and Obesity Body Weight Changes | Procedure: Sleeve gastrectomy Procedure: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass | Not Applicable |
This is prospective cohort study. Total 400 obese patients will be enrolled(Sleeve gastrectomy 200 patients, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass 200)
The principal investigator or another clinical investigator in charge will individually inform the patients about the study, before operation at out patient clinic. At that time patient is selected to either sleeve gastrectomy group or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass group. All investigator report to clinical research center about patients BMI and operation method.
About 30-35 obesity patients will be enrolled according to their BMI status. Patients' BMI status is classified into several parts by 2.5 gap started from 27.5.
All patients will undergo periodically anthropometry, laboratory tests, bioelectrical impedance analysis, gastrofiberscopy, polysomnography and abdomen CT before and after surgery.
Patients with hypertension will undergo echocardiography. Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome will be checked hormonal study. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus will be performed 75g oral glucose tolerance test test.
Surgical complication include wound morbidities, gastrointestinal leakage or fistula, postoperative bleeding, intra-abdominal abscess, stricture , adhesive ileus, reflux esophagitis, marginal ulceration, dumping syndrome and internal hernia.
Systemic complication which is not associated with the operation field include ling morbidities, heart morbidities, urinary morbidities and others.
Hospital mortality is defined as postoperative death form any cause within 30 days after operation.
All patients will be followed up post operative 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 18 month, 24 month.
All patients' liver tissue, visceral fat and subcutaneous fat will be harvested during operation.
All patients' blood sample will be collected at out patient clinic visit. All patients' urine and face will be collected at out patient clinic visit and will be analyzed to evaluate microbial change throughout pre and post operation period.

- Obesity Cure Success Rate [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year ]Proportion of patients who reach BMI bellow 25
- Body weight change rate [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year ]Decreased body weight proportion compare to preoperative body weight
- Waist circumference change rate [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year ]Decreased waist circumference change proportion compare to preoperative waist circumference
- Rate of morbid disease remission or partial remission [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year, 2 year ]Remission rate or partial remission rate of morbid disease related to obesity such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia after surgery
- Postoperative complication rate and mortality rate [ Time Frame: Within postoperative 30 days ]Number of participants surgical complications associate with the surgical technique or the operation field Number of participants mortality after operation associated with surgical complication or underlying disease
- Micronutrient deficiency [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year, 2 year ]Incidence of micronutrient deficiency rate such as vitamine, calcium, iron
- Quality of life improvement rate and degree-1 [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year, 2 year ]
Patients rate and quantitative analysis of the improved life quality using several survey EQ-5D-3L(EuroQol-5D) consists of 5 dimensions(mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression).
Each of which is scored as no/some/extreme problems. The dimension scores are converted into health utility scores ranging form 0(death) to 1(perfect health)
- Quality of life improvement rate and degree-2 [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year, 2 year ]
EQ-VAS(EuroQol-Visual Analogue scale) is a question scale ranging form 0 to 100.
0 indicated the worst and 100 indicated the best condition. EQ-VAS provides important, complementary information on patient's view about their own health.
- Quality of life improvement rate and degree-3 [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year, 2 year ]
Impact of Weight on QoL(IWQoL) has 5 dimensions and each dimension has several items.
- physical function : 11 items
- self-esteem : 7 items
- sexual life : 4 items
- public distress : 5 items
- work : 4 items
Score range from 0 to 100 and 100 represents the best quality of life.
- Quality of life improvement rate and degree-4 [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year, 2 year ]
Moore-head-Ardelt QoL questionnaire II(MA-II) has 6 items(general self-esteem, physical activity, social contacts, satisfaction concerning work, pleasure related to sexuality and focus on eating behavior).
All items are scored according to 10-level Likert scale(-0.5 to 0.5) and all have the same weight.
- Quality of life improvement rate and degree-5 [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 year, 2 year ]
Obesity-related Psychosocial Problem scale(OP scale) consists of 8 items that measure the bothersome impact of body weight on given situations.
(private gatherings in their own home, private gatherings at their friend or relative's home and going to restaurant)
