Article Abstract
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a type of procedure called bariatric surgery that provides large weight loss and has a positive impact on diseases associated with obesity. However, it has brought several complications that have an impact on those undergoing surgery, which are classified into intraoperative and postoperative issues. The study's goal is to assess the Saudi Arabian population's awareness of SG consequences. This study assessed the general population's knowledge in Saudi Arabia in 2023 using a cross-sectional approach. The total number of participants was 1,013, the majority of whom were individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 (471, 46%), and females (692, 68%). A total of 692 (68%) participants showed awareness of BMI; in addition, 987 (97%) were aware of gastric sleeve surgery, and 538 (53%) understood its indications correctly. Regarding SG complications, approximately 821 (81%) of participants showed awareness. There were significant associations between knowledge of gastric sleeve surgery and residence in the northern region of Saudi Arabia. In conclusion, our study indicated that the general population is aware of the complications of gastric sleeve surgery, but it found a deficiency in their knowledge about BMI.

Metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS), including Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG), have proven effective in promoting long-term diabetes remission among patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D). In this multicentre retrospective cohort study, we investigated the effectiveness of RYGB and SG in achieving diabetes remission, specifically among patients with T2D and vascular complications, while accounting for similar baseline diabetes severity. Although various scores predict diabetes remission after bariatric surgery, they do not consider diabetes-related vascular complications, which can influence outcomes even in patients with similar baseline T2D severity.

Background: Patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥50 have more obesity-associated medical problems and often require more aggressive surgical management. Few single-institution comparative studies have been published examining this specific population.
Objectives: The study aims to compare the weight loss and diabetes remission effects of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS).

Background: Metabolic bariatric surgeries are considered the finest and most appropriate treatment option for patients with severe obesity. Besides the surgical procedure, many factors appear to be associated with improved postoperative outcomes such as compliance to the postoperative diet and supplementation, regular physical activity, medical and nutritional follow-up, and modifications in dietary habits.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of adherence to postoperative recommendations on anthropometric measurements and body composition and assess the percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) and excess weight loss (%EWL) 3 months postoperative.
