Sleeve gastrectomy with proximal jejunal bypass (SG with PJB) is often preferred for patients with higher body mass index (BMI) and inadequate glycemic control. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of SG and SG with PJB, focusing on glycemic control and BMI in prediabetic and diabetic patients. Preoperative analysis revealed differences in age and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels between groups: SG with PJB patients were older (38.
