Comorbidities were type 2 diabetes (32%), biopsy-confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (33%), hypertension (18%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, 38%), sleep apnea (17%), and dyslipidemia (16%). Procedures included sleeve gastrectomy (59%), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (37%), and single anastomosis duodenal ileostomy (4%), all performed laparoscopically. Mean operative time was 107.1\u2009\u00b1\u200946.1\u00a0min, and mean hospital stay was 1.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2\u00a0days.
