## Abstract ## Purpose Obesity and its comorbidities are risk factors for absenteeism and unemployment. Bariatric surgery might help to intervene in the vicious circle of unemployment, social disadvantage and increasing obesity. The most common bariatric procedures are sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This survey analyzes the influence of the bariatric procedure on return to work. ## Methods The data of a German nationwide multicenter registry StuDoQ|MBE from 2015 to 2020 are evaluated. Patients are surveyed who underwent a primary SG or RYGB while being unemployed: 782 patients are included. Primary endpoint is any form of return to work within 1 year after treatment. The surgical procedure acts as the binary main treatment variable. A multivariate binary logistic regression model was performed with age, sex, vocational training and weight loss as third variables so that odds ratios (OR) and adjusted ORs were determined. ## Results Of the patients, 41.56% received a RYGB, 58.44% a SG. One year after bariatric surgery, 39.39% of the patients with SG and 33.85% with RYGB reached a return to work. The OR for return to work is 1.27 (p = 0.11) non-significan
