Abstract: Intro: Obesity and MASH (Metabolic associated steatohepatitis) cirrhosis are increasingly common. Graft steatosis after liver transplantation has been described, and post-transplant obesity related complications are on the rise. Simultaneous sleeve gastrectomy has been described in the deceased donor liver transplantation population, but it has not been described in the living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) population.
