Postprandial Nutrient Handling and Gastrointestinal Secretion of Hormones After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass vs Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) induce substantial weight loss and improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, but it is not clear whether these occur via the same mechanism.
