%X the following is a prospective study that evaluate the quality of life and food tolerance changes in patients submitted to roux en "y" gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy by laparoscopy, at servicio de cirug¨ªa ii of the hospital universitario de caracas. from september 2008 to january 2009, 41 patients were included in a prospective, non randomized way; 23 submitted to roux en "y" gastric bypass and 18 to sleeve gastrectomy by laparoscopy. the moorehead-ardelt quality of life, and suter food tolerance tests were applied at 3, 6 and 9 postoperative months. the excess weight loss was statistically satisfactory (p< 0.01) for both procedures, 60 % for roux en "y" gastric bypass and 71.5 % for sleeve gastrectomy. for both groups there was statistically significant improve (p< 0.01) in quality of life related to the preoperative period, with all patients on good and very good quality of life at 9 months. food tolerance was worsened at 3 months postsurgery in both techniques, with progressive recovery at 6 and 9 months, doing better the gv group (p< 0.05). we conclude that both techniques are effective, and improve the quality of life of morbidly obese patients. there is a temporary worsening in food tolerance that is progressively recovered with better response at 9 months in patients submitted to sleeve gastrectomy.
