Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is gaining acceptance in the bariatric community as a definitive weight loss procedure as compare to laparoscopic Roux- en – Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). In a similar effort, a study was conducted in Security Forces Hospital Program - Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on 55 patients who were morbidly obese. On the basis of characteristics and needs of each individual two procedures were practiced. During the course of study these patients were subjected to laparoscopic Roux- en – Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
