Introduction. The aim of this paper was to presents long-term results of a
laparoscopic gastric sleeve resection in a “super super” obese patient and a
follow-up period of eight years. Case Outline. A patient with Body Mass Index
(BMI) of 70 kg/m2 and Stage 3 obesity according to “King’s Obesity Staging
Criteria” (KOSC), with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk of over
20%, and a pronounced severe obstructive sleep apnea, underwent a
laparoscopic gastric sleeve resection (LGS). After two years, the patient
reached BMI of 28.4 kg/m2 and eight years after the surgery has BMI of 34.3
kg/m2, and %EBMIL (% Excess BMI Loss) of 79.3%. According to the KOCS, he
falls under Stage 0. Conclusion. LGS resection may be performed as a
stand-alone procedure in “super super” obese patients, with excellent
long-term results.
