    Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are significant global health challenges, with rising prevalence in East Asia, including Korea.

  • 2

    Metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective treatment for obesity and T2DM, recommended for patients with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher.

  • 3

    Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most common MBS procedures, each with distinct benefits and risks.

  • 4

    This study aims to compare the effects of SG and RYGB on glucose control and weight loss in Korean patients with obesity and T2DM.

  • 5

    The primary outcome is the rate of complete T2DM remission at 1 and 2 years postoperatively, with secondary outcomes including BMI changes and complications.
