Bariatric surgery proven to achieve long term weight loss with improvement in all obesity related morbidities. This study was to compare the 5 years outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in terms of fertility outcomes, breast feeding, weight loss, safety, and resolution of obesity related co-morbidity.

This study included 197 adult morbidly obese females, 111 underwent LSG (group I) and 86 LRYGB (group II). After 5 years follow up, the following were looked at: percentage excess weight loss (%EWL), comorbidity improvement or resolution, postoperative complications or mortality, fertility outcomes and breast feeding.
