In recent years, obesity has increased in the UAE and the use of bariatric surgery has increased in-line with this trend. However, data regarding bariatric surgery outcomes in diabetic Emirati people is scarce. Objective: To evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of diabetic patients treated with bariatric surgery with a minimal follow-up of 1 year and extended for some patients (21) to 2 years follow up. A total of 80 patients underwent bariatric surgery. Two surgical procedures were used; laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (n=53) or mini-gastric bypass between January 1, 2015, and July 20, 2017. Results: Mean baseline weight was 119.2±31.2 kg, this has significantly dropped to 100.1±23.1, 91.2±22.3, 82.3±17.5, and 81.3±15.3 kg at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months respectively, and this change was statistically significant P<0.001 at each time point. Mean baseline HbA1c was 8.6% ± 2.3% and this dropped significantly to 6.5±1.7, 5.9±1.2, 5.6±0.8, and 5.4±0.7 at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months respectively (P<0.000). In 49 (61.3%) we considered fatty liver based on ultrasound features either with or without elevation in alanine aminotransferase (ALT). We noticed a significant decrease in ALT at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Furthermore, 11 patients (22.4%) showed sonographic features of improvement in fatty liver in addition to normalization of ALT. Conclusions: Bariatric surgery was effective over a follow-up period of 2 years in achieving significant weight loss as well as resulting in improvements in glycemic control, blood pressure, and fatty liver.
