Background & Objective: Obesity is a growing public health problem worldwide. Bariatric surgery is considered the safest and most effective therapeutic option, although it is associated with various metabolic and neurohormonal consequences. This study aims to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on hypothyroidism within one year following surgery.
Methods: In this single-center prospective cross-sectional study, patients with morbid obesity who were candidates for SG were included. Body mass index (BMI), levothyroxine dosage, and thyroid function tests were compared at baseline and 12 months after surgery.
Results & Conclusion: Patients' BMI, levothyroxine dosage, TSH, and T4 levels decreased significantly after surgery (<0.0001). The effect of SG on T3 levels was not statistically significant. The results of this study demonstrate that SG can significantly improve thyroid function tests in patients with morbid obesity and reduce their need for levothyroxine within one year following surgery.

Context: This paper aims to review the findings of the Tehran Obesity Treatment Study (TOTS) on obesity and bariatric surgery (BS).
Evidence Acquisition: The objective of this review is to assess all aspects of BS in individuals with severe obesity, focusing on research conducted within the TOTS framework.
Results And Conclusions: The TOTS studies have produced significant national-level findings, highlighting critical issues related to the effectiveness and outcomes of bariatric procedures, the importance of comprehensive nutritional management, and the complications associated with these interventions in this population.
Introduction: Post-sleeve gastrectomy (SG) proximal staple line leak is a rare yet serious complication. Endoscopic negative pressure therapy (ENPT) has emerged as a safe technique, showing promising results in treating leakages of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, often in conjunction with surgical interventions. A standardized treatment algorithm has not been established.

Purpose: We present a case of ocular pathology linked to morbid obesity, emphasizing the role of systemic inflammation in ocular disease and clinical impact of weight loss.
Methods: We report the case of a 49-year-old man with morbid obesity and obstructive sleep apnea who underwent bilateral corneal transplants secondary to keratoconus. For 4 years, he had chronic bulbar hyperemia with progressive blood vessel growth across the graft-host junction, which was treated with chronic topical corticosteroids.
