Summary
Obesity is a major global health problem. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment, leading to substantial weight loss and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities. The most commonly performed procedures are Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). LRYGB is typically selected for patients with a BMI exceeding 50 kg/m2. Recently, LSG with duodenojejunal bypass (LSG-DJB) has been introduced. To date, no randomized controlled trial has compared LRYGB and LSG-DJB in patients with super morbid obesity, particularly regarding postoperative hormonal responses. This study aims to address this gap. If LSG-DJB results in a lower incidence of post-bariatric hypoglycemia than LRYGB, it would support its clinical benefit. Evaluation of GLP-1, GIP, glucagon, and insulin responses will clarify mechanisms underlying weight loss and postprandial glycemic changes.
