Bariatric surgery is the most effective modality for long-term weight loss and for resolving the associated comorbidities. However, controversies exist regarding the ideal weight loss metabolic procedure. This allowed continuous search for new techniques.

Sleeve gastrectomy with loop bipartition comorbidities related outcomes were complete remission of 66% in T2DM, 71% in HTN, 100% others comorbidities and another studies for bipartition reached more than 90% in T2DM, 80% in HTN, 85% others comorbidities. In our study we recorded that Sleeve gastrectomy with loop bipartition has strong impact on resolution of comorbidities in comparison with BPD, DS, RYGB.
