}Long-term total mortality after gastric bypass surgery was significantly reduced, particularly deaths from diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, however, the rate of death from causes other than disease was higher in the surgery group than in the control group.

Association of Patient Age at Gastric Bypass Surgery With Long-term All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality.
- 2016
Medicine
Gastric bypass surgery was associated with improved long-term survival for all patients undergoing surgery at ages older than 35 years, with externally caused deaths only elevated in younger women.
Mortality rate after open Roux-in-Y gastric bypass: a 10-year follow-up
- 2014
Medicine
The overall risk of death after bariatric surgery was quite low, and half of the deaths were related to the surgery, while older patients and superobese patients were at greater risk of surgery-related deaths, as were patients operated on by less experienced surgeons.
Reduction in Long-term Mortality After Sleeve Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass Compared to Nonsurgical Patients With Severe Obesity
- 2021
Medicine
This study confirms and extends prior findings of an association with better survival following bariatric surgery in RYGB patients compared to controls and separately demonstrates that the SG operation also appears to be associated with lower mortality compared to matched control patients with severe obesity that received usual care.
45 Long-Term Mortality After Bariatric Surgery

Medicine
Current data seem to clearly support that bariatric surgery significantly reduces obesity-related mortality.
Long-term mortality rates (>8-year) improve as compared to the general and obese population following bariatric surgery
- 2014
Medicine
Long-term mortality rate of patients undergoing bariatric surgery significantly improves as compared to the general population regardless of bariatric operation performed, and perioperative complications do not increase long- term mortality risk.
Cancer Incidence and Mortality After Gastric Bypass Surgery
- 2009
Medicine
Significant reduction in total cancer mortality in gastric bypass patients compared with severely obese controls was associated with decreased incidence, primarily among subjects with advanced cancers, supporting recommendations for reducing weight to lower cancer risk.
Long-term Prevention of Mortality in Morbid Obesity Through Bariatric Surgery. A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Trials Performed With Gastric Banding and Gastric Bypass
- 2011
Medicine
It is indicated that bariatric surgery reduces long-term mortality; risk reduction is smaller in large than in small studies; and both gastric banding and gastric by-pass reduce mortality with a greater effect of the latter on CV mortality.
Health benefits of gastric bypass surgery after 6 years.
- 2012
Medicine
Among severely obese patients, compared with nonsurgical control patients, the use of RYGB surgery was associated with higher rates of diabetes remission and lower risk of cardiovascular and other health outcomes over 6 years.

Concerns are raised about the characteristics of the matched-control subjects and the methods used for matching that generate concern for the possibility of uncontrolled confounding either by comorbidity or by socioeconomic status.

Bariatric surgery for severe obesity is associated with long-term weight loss and decreased overall mortality.
Factors Influencing Survival following Surgical Treatment of Obesity
- 2005
Medicine
Simple and complex operations were equally effective in keeping patients alive in this cohort of patients operated on for severe obesity from 1986 to 1999, and longer follow-up for death is needed before any recommendations can be made for operation category based on survival.
