The aim of the bulletin is to assist diplomats and their families and staff who often come to Israel without knowledge of Hebrew, and perhaps without foreign health insurance that would cover them adequately in the event of emergencies or health problem. We are greatly indebted to the local doctors and medical centers that have agreed to be listed in the Diplomatic Club Medical Bulletin, and for their agreement to accept the international health insurance scheme outlined. We also thank the Ministry of Health of Israel for appreciating the complex problem of health insurance for diplomatic staff, and for supporting the Medical Bulletin. We too understand the difficulties of living in a foreign country and hope that this service will prove helpful to diplomatic staff and their families.

Our aim was to elucidate trends of anthropometric and clinical outcomes 3 years following sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Methods A prospective cohort study of 60 patients who underwent SG. Anthropometrics including body composition analysis measured by multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, blood tests, liver fat content measured by abdominal ultrasound and habitual physical activity were evaluated at baseline and at 6 (M6), 12 (M12), and 36 (M36) months post-surgery. Results Sixty patients (55% women, age 44.7 ± 8.7 years) who completed the entire follow-up were included. Fat mass (FM) was reducedsignificantly1yearpost-surgery(55.8±11.3to26.7±8.3kg;P < 0.001) and then increased between 1 and 3 years post- operatively, but remained below baseline level (26.7 ± 8.3 to 33.1 ± 11.1 kg; P < 0.001). Fat free mass (FFM) decreased significantly during the first 6 months (64.7 ± 14.3 to 56.9 ± 11.8 kg; P < 0.001), slightly decreased between M6 and M12 and then reached a plateau through M36.
