Morbid obesity (MO) groups: Groups A, B, and C. P1 comparison between pre and postoperative. ANOVA to compare between the different groups at the same time. Duncan’s method was used to find the significant difference between two groups as follows: The same small letters indicate that there was no significant difference between the two groups, while the difference letters indicate that there was a significant difference between this two groups.
