Zusammenfassung:Background The impact of preoperative weight loss on outcomes following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is a controversial issue. We evaluated our outcomes of LRYGB in patients who lost different amount of weight prior to surgery. Methods Patients who underwent primary LRYGB were divided in three groups on the basis of preoperative weight loss percentage. Group A comprised 166 patients, who lost 5 to 10 % and group C included 143 patients who lost >10 %. Intra- and postoperative complications at 30 days, hospital stay, and outcomes were evaluated. Results Significant difference was found in operative (mean ± SD) time [104.43 ± 36.40 min in group A, 80.08 ± 23.07 min in group B, and 76.99 ± 23.23 min in group C; p
