- Abstract
B TO THE EDITOR: b We thank the editor for giving us the opportunity to respond to Dr. Rena Moon's comments on our article on the evaluation of the outcome of five different bariatric procedures on patients with super obesity. We agree with Dr. Moon that patients with super obesity and super-super obesity are poor responders to most bariatric procedures [2]. Our study confirms the well-documented poor outcomes after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass in patients with super obesity.
