a

mt-sDNA pts - Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (N = 4), Billroth II (N = 1), gastric plication (N = 1), and not otherwise specified (N = 3); Screening pts–Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (N = 14) and vertical sleeve (N = 4).

b

16 patients with mt-sDNA and prior BMS in this group were removed and analyzed only in the mt-sDNA after BMS group.

c

BMI data were available for 251 and 138 patients in the mt-sDNA after BMS and screening colonoscopy after BMS cohorts, respectively.
