Core Tip	Direct comparisons indicate that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy produce broadly similar long-term reductions in leptin and chemerin. Adiponectin increases after both procedures; a greater post-RYGB increase has been reported in some small cohorts but is not consistent across studies. Evidence for resistin is limited. Because postoperative weight loss, baseline diabetes, supplementation, and assay differences confound comparisons, current adipokine data cannot determine the preferred operation or predict individual outcomes. Larger randomized studies with standardized measurements and > 1-year follow-up are needed.
