Weight loss and VAT evolution after surgery. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; DXA, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; %EWL, % excess weight loss; IGT, impaired glucose tolerance; %TWL, % total weight loss; VAT, visceral adipose tissue. Legend: Weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery across the three groups (color legend shown in panel A) expressed as BMI (panel A), %EWL, and %TWL (panel B). Evolution of VAT mass as measured by DXA over time after surgery in each group (panels C-E) and comparison between groups (panel F). The 6-month DXA was missed by 6 patients with normoglycemia and their individual course is not shown in Panel D. The error bars represent SD
