Popis: The prevalence of super obesity (SO, BMI > 50.0 kg/m2) and super-super obesity (SSO, BMI > 60 kg/m2) is increasing. Current data are limited and discrepant on the relationship between SSO and post-bariatric surgery complication risk. We hypothesized there would be increased complications for both laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in SSO compared to SO, but the relative risk (RR) would support the use of LSG in SSO patients. Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement 2016 data were queried for SO and SSO patients undergoing LRYGB or LSG. Thirty-day post-operative complications were calculated. Univariate analyses were performed with a χ2 or Student’s t test. Comparisons between multiple groups were performed using a one-way ANOVA. Statistical significance was defined as p
