Health Care Professional Follow Up and Weight loss for 2-year versus 10-year RYGB Patients

Variable	2-Year	10-Year	P-value
Time since last Surgeon Follow-Up (months)	13.3 ± 7.8	86.9 ± 39.9	<0.001
Time since last PCP Follow-Up (months)	3.1 ± 4.3	3.7 ± 3.4	0.21
Follow-Up BMI (kg/m2)	33.1± 7.4	35.4± 8.6	0.03
% EBMI Reduction	70.4 ± 24.1	58.6 ± 34.1	<0.001

A p-value of p<0.05 was denoted for statistical significance and was calculated using Chi² and Mann-Whitney U. % EBMI = ((Pre-op BMI − 25) – (Interval BMI − 25))/(Pre-op BMI − 25). Data are mean ± standard error of the mean.
