To the Editor: I n the July 2011 issue of Annals of Surgery, Yin et al1 reported the results of different bariatric surgical procedures in the treatment of obesity and insulin resistance in mice. The authors found that the sleeve gastrectomy and a modified Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (mRYGBP), in which the whole stomach is bypassed, represent reliable restrictive and gastrointestinal bypass bariatric models. With respect to the efficacy of these 2 procedures against excess weight, liver steatosis, altered glucose tolerance, and pancreatic islet viability, they found that the mRYGBP provides better and more durable results than sleeve gastrectomy. Indeed, animals undergoing sleeve gastrectomy progressively regained the lost weight between 4 and 8 weeks. We congratulate the authors for their remarkable work; however, we feel, at the same time, that their report raises a few issues that need further discussion. First, in the case of the sleeve gastrectomy, the fact that only 90% of the forestomach is removed conflicts with the statement that the whole gastric fundus is removed. In our experience, 10% of the residual forestomach inevitably dilates between 4 and 8 weeks after surgery, leading to weight gain as observed by the authors (Fig. 3A). We encountered the same problem during the preparation of a sleeve gastrectomy model in the mouse. When the forestomach was not carefully and completely resected, animals showed progressive weight gain that was paralleled by an increase in the daily quantity of ingested food. At necropsy between 4 and 8 weeks after surgery, we found a dilatation of the remnant forestomach. This prompted a modification of the surgical technique that includes the complete and careful removal of the forestomach along with the resection of the glandular stomach. The authors state that they remove 70% to 80% of the stomach at the time of sleeve gastrectomy and provide interesting imaging data of the gastrointestinal tract showing the reduction of the stomach volume at 7 to 10 days after surgery. However, no collective data are pro-
