2. Figure 1
Time course of body mass index in severely obese patients undergoing vertical banded gastroplasty with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, or biliopancreatic diversion. Symbols are box plots (with median, interquartile range, and 95% confidence interval); the curve is the best fit. The baseline data for the two groups of obese subjects were combined (black box).

Time course of whole-body insulin-mediated glucose disposal in severely obese patients undergoing gastric bypass or biliopancreatic diversion. Symbols are box plots (with median, interquartile range, and 95% confidence interval). The baseline data for the two groups of obese subjects were combined (black box).

4. Figure 3
Plot of insulin sensitivity against body mass index (BMI). Symbols are mean values; the curves are the best fit (solid line) and 99% confidence interval (dotted lines) obtained by modeling a power function (glucose disposal = BMI−1.1; r = 0.88, P < ) on the baseline values in controls and all obese patients.
