    TLDR The SASJ bypass is a safe and effective surgery for weight loss and improving health conditions.
    The study on Laparoscopic Single Anastomosis Sleeve-Jejunal (SASJ) Bypass involved 30 patients with morbid obesity. Over a year, the procedure demonstrated significant weight loss, with %EWL reaching 71.86% at 12 months. Postoperative complications were minimal, including hair loss in 10% of patients. The procedure showed excellent outcomes for diabetes and dyslipidemia, with all patients experiencing remission or improvement. Additionally, patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) showed sustained improvement. Quality of life significantly improved post-procedure.
