Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study involving adult Thai obese patients with diabetes mellitus that had bariatric surgery in Vachira Phuket Hospital from October 2016 to September 2019

Results: 55 patients were matched criteria. 40 patients (72.73%) had diabetes remission 1 year after bariatric surgery. The alteration of metabolic parameters shown the decline of body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, HbA1C and triglyceride level with statistic significant but increasing in total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol.Factors that affect diabetes remission were diabetes duration, insulin use before surgery, diabetic control before surgery and type of bariatric surgery.
