Abstract
Gastric bypass is generally a better option than sleeve gastrectomy, according to a randomised trial in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Evaluated by self-report three years after surgery, the amount of weight lost, likelihood of remission of diabetes, and quality of life were all superior in the gastric bypass group. Postprandial hypoglycaemiawasmore frequent after gastric bypass than after sleeve gastrectomy, but other adverse effects, such as abdominal pain, indigestion, and diarrhoea, were similar after both procedures (Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol doi:10.1016/S2213-8587(23)00127-4).
