    Obesity Surgery (2019) 29:3833–3841 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11695-019-04057-2 ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS Prospective Longitudinal Trends in Body Composition and Clinical Outcomes 3 Years Following Sleeve Gastrectomy Shiri Sherf-Dagan1,2,3 & Shira Zelber-Sagi1,4 & Assaf Buch5,6 & Nir Bar1,2 & Muriel Webb1 & Nasser Sakran7,8,9 & Asnat Raziel7 & David Goitein2,7,10 & Andrei Keidar11 & Oren Shibolet1,2 Published online: 11 July 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Background and Aims Longitudinal assessment of body composition following bariatric surgery allows monitoring of health status. 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.
