AB  - BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is an approved procedure for 
      weight reduction in obese patients. This outcome of weight loss is essential to 
      achieve optimal control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 
      OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of LSG on glycemic 
      control among a sample of obese patients in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saudi 
      Arabia, through assessment of reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) associated with 
      weight loss following LSG. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we studied 102 
      patients with a body mass index (BMI) of >/=30 kg/m(2 )and aged >/=18 years who 
      underwent LSG between January 2017 and December 2019. Patient age, 
      characteristics, preoperative and postoperative records of BMI and HbA1c were 
      collected. The data of BMI and HbA1c were analyzed based on baseline and mean 
      postoperative readings with variable postoperative visits after LSG. RESULTS: 
      There was a 30% reduction in BMI and a 26.4% reduction in HbA1c following LSG 
      from baseline in all patients. We noted 44 patients achieved BMI <40kg/m(2) with 
      HbA1c <6.5% and 32 patients achieved BMI <40kg/m(2) with HbA1c <5.7% within a 
      mean follow-up time of 10 months. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy 
      (LSG) has a positive effect on glycemic control in obese patients in short term, 
      evidenced by the significant reduction of weight and HbA1c. Larger longitudinal 
      studies are needed to assess the long-term impact of LSG glycemic control and the 
      related factors associated with maintaining weight reduction and optimal glycemic 
      control in Saudi Arabia for patients with obesity.
