African Americans had a lower %TWL than non-Hispanic/Latino Whites at most time points; there were no other significant race/ethnicity or sex differences. BMI (greater initial BMI), age (lower) and RYGB were associated with a greater post-operative %TWL at certain post-surgery follow-up time points. A limitation of this study is that there was missing data at a number of time points due to lack of attendance at certain follow-up visits.
