Modifications of Resting Energy Expenditure After Sleeve Gastrectomy

Resting energy expenditure (REE) declines more than what is expected according to body composition changes after caloric restriction. This metabolic adaptation is considered one of the factors favoring weight regain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes of REE and calculate the degree of metabolic adaptation occurring after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). REE (by indirect calorimetry) and body composition (fat-free mass or...
