Abstract

Overweight and obesity are among the most prevalent non-communicable diseases which are generally treated successfully by bariatric or sleeve surgery. There are evidences affirming that sleeve surgery can manipulate the pH of the stomach and interact with the metabolism of fatty acids, carbohydrates, and bile acid transfer, leading to the overgrowth of gut microbiota. Therefore, this study aims to review the changes in gut microbiota and hormones after bariatric surgery.
