The data obtained from this study include the nutritional status, digestive effect, and eating habits in the intermediate and long –term follow up period after G.variations in the nutritional status will be discussed first and then the alimentary analysis. Regarding the weight variation, we have demonstrated that the presence of gastric cancer (difference between usual weight and weight at hospital admission before surgery) nowadays does not cause malnutrition, as opposed to that observed in the past and still reported in many medical books. The explanation is due to the greater practitioners, to initial dyspeptic symptoms and to the increased availability of endoscopy.
