| Converted patients (n=26) | 49.1% |
| RYGB (n=25) | 47.2% |
| Duodenal switch (n=1) | 1.9% |
| Reasons for conversion | |
| GERD (n=10) | 18.9% |
| Weight regain (n=14) | 26.4% |
| Acute conversion (n=2) | 3.8% |
| Median interval SG – conversion (n=24*) (in months) | 48 (R 12-175) |
| Dead patients (n=4)** | 7.5% |
