    ObjectivesTo assess the remission rate, metabolic changes, and quality of life after bariatric surgery among Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 main centers in the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study included patients with T2DM who underwent either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery from 2014 to 2018. The remission rate was defined based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Quality of life was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF.ResultsA total of 232 patients were included with a mean age of 44.3 ± 10.3 years. 93.4% of the patients had LSG, while only 6.6% had RYGB surgery. Among patients who underwent either LSG or RYGB surgery, there was a significant improvement in metabolic and glycemic markers compared to the baseline. According to the ADA criteria, 48.5% of the patients had complete remission, while 18.9% had partial remission. Overall, 7% of the patients met the IDF optimization criteria, while 5.7% met the IDF improvement criteria. The mean score for all the QOL domains exceeded 63 ± 13, with the environmental and physical health domains having the highest scores.ConclusionAmong Saudi patients, bariatric surgery was associated with high remission rates and a better quality of life.Copyright: © Saudi Medical Journal.
