the surgical intervention through the review of medical records. The descriptive, comparative and correlational statistical analyzes were performed where the following results were found: in the presence of the gastric sleeve the anthropometric parameters such as weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference and percentage of fat mass decrease (p=0,00). In the presence of the bariatric surgery the biochemical parameters such as total cholesterol, triglycerides, C-HDL, c-LDL, glucose decrease (p=0, 00). In addition, there was improvement in the levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, decreasing its levels (p=0, 00 and p=0,003 respectively). According to the relationship, the variables related to the lipid profile and glucose are influenced by the anthropometric parameters (BMI and percentage of fat). It is concluded that bariatric surgery influences the nutritional status because the metabolic comorbidities of obesity experience an improvement or early resolution. It is recommended that patients who present problems of excess weight opting as a first option to dietary treatment, surgical treatment should always be removed from established protocols as a medical and non-aesthetic technique.
