Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) remains the cornerstone of OSA management; however, its effectiveness is often hindered by patient adherence and tolerance. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has emerged as a viable alternative by reducing excess weight and improving upper airway anatomy. Among the various MBS techniques, Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) has gained prominence due to its favorable outcomes and limited complications. This study aims to assess the impact of SG on OSA, utilizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and polysomnography to analyze structural changes and clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this prospective study, 40 participants aged 18\u201365 years with a BMI exceeding 30\u00a0kg\/m\u00b2 and a confirmed diagnosis of OSA (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI]\u2009\u2265\u20095) were enrolled. Pre- and post-operative evaluations included an MRI of the upper airway, polysomnography, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) to quantify daytime somnolence. Statistical analysis was conducted using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) and correlation tests in R software, focusing on changes in weight, BMI, AHI, Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI), and airway dimensions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Post-SG, participants exhibited significant weight reduction, averaging \u2212\u200943.8\u00a0kg (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and a decrease in BMI of -15.7\u00a0kg\/m\u00b2 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
