We would like to correct some errors in the above article.

1. Abstract

The number of control individuals in the Methods section of the abstract was incorrectly stated. The corrected sentence is as follows: “A prospective online survey was conducted among 218 LSG patients and 73 control individuals with obesity who had not undergone surgery.”

2. RESULTS

In the RESULTS section of the main text, the following sentence was included in error and has been removed: “Among LSG patients, hunger scores decreased, while satiety scores increased in comparison to the control scores.”

3. Table 2

The “Total” column values in Table 2 were incorrect. The corrected table is presented below:

Table 2. Relation between duration of fasting and mean postoperative time.
