Abstract

This study was carried out on 196 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy at Bezmialem Vakif University between 2012 and 2014 and whose follow-up was followed preoperatively and postoperatively. The study was planned to compare the change of weight and body composition in people who did or did not use protein dust for 6 months after bariatric surgery. Individuals who are 18 years of age and older who are not pregnant and obese are included in the study. This study was divided into two groups, those who use protein dust (group-1) and those who do not (group2). The number of people who use protein dust is 124 and the number of people who do not use it is 72. The body analysis of the cases was performed with the Tanita body composition analyzer TBF-300 instrument at each control. 63% of patients use protein dust and 37% do not use protein dust. As a result of the study, the differences between the fat percentage ratios of the cases in both groups were statistically significant at post op 6th month controls (p<0.05). When the weight ratios of the cases were examined, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups. When the muscle ratios of both groups are evaluated; the difference between the body muscle ratios of the post-op 1 month controls was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05) and the difference between the body muscle ratios of the two groups in the controls of the post-op 6 months was statistically significant (0.01). As a result, we believe that post-operative protein supplementation will be favorable as a result of this study.
