Background Obesity is nowadays considered as one of the public health problem which is associated with a great variety of diseases, most notably affecting the cardiovascular system. Aim of the Work is to evaluate and compare between the outcome of bariatric surgery directly after Intragastric balloon extraction versus delayed bariatric surgery (six weeks to three months) following balloon extraction. Patients and Methods The study was a Prospective Randomized study which included 30 patients who underwent a planned mini gastric bypass surgery following an intragastric balloon extraction. The patients were divided according to time of surgery to 2 groups: Group A (15patients): Delayed Second scheduled surgery after balloon extraction (6 weeks to 3 months). Group B (15 patients) Immediate surgery in the same session of balloon extraction. Results The mean age of the study was 35.36 years ranging from 21 to 50 years with ±8.227 standard deviation. The mean age of Group A was 35.6 versus 35.13 in Group B. The mean weight of the patients was 112.5±9.8kg ranging from 95 kg to 145kg. The mean weight of Group A was 110.13±8.27 versus 114.86±10.88 in Group B. The mean BMI of the study was 46.46±4.7 ranging from 38 to 60. The mean BMI for Group A was 45.66 versus 47.26 for Group B. Conclusion We concluded that a delayed bariatric surgery following an extraction of the balloon is more favorable than a same session surgery and extraction of the balloon in terms of duration of the operation, hospital stay and early post-operative complications.
