Background

Methods
A retrospective review will be performed of all patients aged >60 years who underwent LSG from 2009 to 2018. These patients will be matched in a 1:2 ratio by gender and body mass index (BMI) to young patients 18<age<60 years. Data analysed will be patient demographics, resolution of obesity-related comorbidities, preoperative and postoperative BMI, excess weight loss percentage (EWL%) and postoperative complications. A 1, 3 and 5 year follow-up of weight reduction results will be conducted.
