| Abstract |
Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) is a purely malabsorptive operation, which has been abandoned in the USA and Western Europe due to occasional serious complications. We are still seeing past JIB patients who have become obese again over the years, but are not suffering side-effects of the previous JIB, and are complaining of typical co-morbidities of the obesity. We present a prior JIB patient who underwent a sleeve gastrectomy in 2003 for recurrence of morbid obesity. The patient has been followed for another 4 years with regular laboratory tests, monitoring of weight loss, bone densitometry and possible complications. Selected morbidly obese patients who have undergone past JIB, can be safely treated by a restrictive procedure, sleeve gastrectomy, to accomplish successful weight loss without increasing the risk of possible serious complications. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 December 2007.
All research outputs
#7,454,066
of 22,788,370 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#1,094
of 3,371 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#27,224
of 77,121 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#5
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,788,370 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,371 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 77,121 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
