Exciting to see the groundbreaking By-Band-Sleeve results published! At 3 years post-randomisation, bypass led to greater weight loss than sleeve & band, with significantly better quality of life than band. A major milestone in bariatric research! BOMSS Jane Blazeby

IFSO statement@Lancet DE: Med-induced WL isn't a reason to delay bariatric surgery. Many stop meds due to cost, intolerance, or wanting a "definitive" fix. Clinicians must not wait for the predictable relapse of complications. The goal is sustained health, not temporary metrics
