Core Tip	Both laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are effective procedures that result in comparable weight loss in the mid-term with similar surgical risks in obese Korean patients. However, a larger number of patients required revisional surgery following LSG than LRYGB. The long-term complications encountered after each procedure differed significantly, and these complications were not negligible. Surgeons should provide a tailored surgical option for each patient that takes into consideration the possible risks, as the long-term complications may have a significant influence on the quality of life following the surgery.
