Patients older than 18 years with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity were selected. The main variable, weight (kg), was measured longitudinally at 6 months,1 and 5 years.

both types of surgeries achieved significant weight loss, however the regimen existed and was significant for the SG group.
