After 5 years of follow up: we evaluated percentage excess weight loss (%EWL), comorbidities improvement, postoperative complications or mortality, and fertility outcomes. Fertility outcomes were assessed in three subgroups: primary infertility (<jats:italic>n\u2009<\/jats:italic>=\u200921), secondary infertility (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20098), and pre-marriage patients (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200950).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Both procedures achieved sustained weight loss (5-year %EWL: LSG 63.1\u2009\u00b1\u20091.5%, LRYGB 65.2\u2009\u00b1\u20098.1%; p\u2009=\u20090.16). Conception rates were high across all subgroups (primary infertility: LSG 80%, LRYGB 72.7%; secondary infertility: 100% both; pre-marriage: LSG 100%, LRYGB 92.3%). LRYGB demonstrated superior remission of type 2 diabetes (100% vs 66.7%, p\u2009=\u20090.038) and GERD (85.7% vs 40%, p\u2009=\u20090.015). Pregnancy-related complications, including gestational diabetes and hypertension, were minimal and resolved postpartum. No neonatal anomalies were reported. Cesarean section rates were high in both groups (63.1%\u201365.8%), likely reflecting cultural or provider preferences rather than surgical indication.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Both LSG and LRYGB are effective and safe in improving fertility, achieving significant weight loss, and supporting favorable pregnancy outcomes in morbidly obese women.
