Answer- B Sleeve gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy is rapidly becoming one of the most common procedures performed
for bariatric surgery in the world largely due to the ease of surgery and comparable results in terms of excess weight loss and resolution of comorbidities.
Snoring in obesity is due to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and is one of the earliest conditions to resolve after surgery.
