  1. p values calculated using ANOVA or chi-square for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. p values are not calculated where one or more groups have a value of zero. If a significant difference was found, Tukey’s multiple comparison test was used to identify if there was a significant difference when comparing two groups, corrected for multiple comparisons. *p < 0.05 when compared to RYGB.
  2. RYGB Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, LSG laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, LAGB laparoscopic adjustable gastric band.
