Abstract BMI and %EBMIL are the most accurate
methods for comparing results of patients after bariatric
surgery.
%EBMIL is based on BMI 25 as a constant endpoint for all patients, but BMI 25 is easily achieved by
patients with BMI<50, whereas it is not so feasible for
patients with BMI>50.
We were prompted to obtain by
statistical methods a mathematical formula able to calculate
the final BMI (FBMI) 3 years after the operation,
dependent on the initial or preoperative BMI (IBMI) of a
multicenter group of morbid obese patients operated with
different bariatric techniques.
We also obtained a specific
formula for each bariatric procedure of this group of
patients.
We propose the name Predicted BMI for the value
obtained with these formulas and its application in
