: Currently, the increase in the percentage of obese people observed along with the development of civilization, reaching the level of a global pandemic, has forced a search for methods of effective and permanent obesity treatment. Obesity is a multifactorial disease; it coexists with many disease entities and requires multidisciplinary treatment. Obesity leads to metabolic changes in the form of metabolic syndromes, which include, among others, atherogenic dyslipidemia. The proven relationship between dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk enforces the need to effectively improve the lipid profile of obese patients. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a method of surgical treatment of morbid obesity which improves bariatric and metabolic parameters. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at improving lipid profile parameters upon a 1-year follow up. : Bariatric parameters of 196 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as well as the lipid profile of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), non-NDL, and triglycerides (TG) in a 1-year observation were analyzed. : Improvements in bariatric parameters were observed in patients after LSG. Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides and non-HDL level decreases were observed along with an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. : Sleeve gastrectomy is an effective method of treating obesity and improving the lipid profile in obese patients.
