Comment on: “Gastric bypass specifically impairs liver parameters as compared with sleeve gastrectomy, independently of evolution of metabolic disorders”

I read with great interest an article written by Ledoux, et al. [1]. The authors conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). They assessed the difference in metabolic parameters, liver enzymes, and abdominal ultrasonography between the two surgery types. The most interesting finding was the higher level of transaminases after RYGB compared to SG, and the same degree of persistent steatosis on ultrasonography between procedures.
