The primary outcomes were anthropometric parameter changes, including BMI and %EWL at 1, 3, and 5 years. LBSG was associated with a lower BMI at 1 year and greater %EWL at 1 year and 3 years compared with LSG. No significant differences were observed between the groups in operative time, food intolerance, postoperative vomiting, or de novo GERD. Major postoperative complications did not differ between the two groups. The authors noted that only 2 studies reported 5-year outcomes using different measures, precluding meta-analysis for that time point. Limitations include high heterogeneity across studies (I² up to 84%), variability in surgical techniques and band types, small sample sizes, and the absence of standardized criteria for several outcomes.
