Since 2013, sleeve gastrectomy has surpassed gastric bypass as the most commonly performed bariatric surgery, likely due to its favorable safety profile with similar weight loss efficacy (3). Although weight loss and lifestyle modifications are associated with improvements in reproductive hormone parameters, an expanding body of research demonstrates the potential deleterious effects of bariatric surgery on semen parameters (4,5).…”
