This is a prospective randomized controlled study that will be carried out on morbid obese patients admitted to Tanta University hospitals for laparoscopic bariatric surgeries. The patients will be randomly assigned into;- Control group:- Anesthesia will be induced by fentanyl 1 ug/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg, and rocuronium 1 mg/kg to facilitate tracheal intubation. Anesthesia will be maintained by sevoflurane 2% in a mixture of oxygen: Air 1: 1 to maintain entropy 40-60. Opioid free anesthesia group;- Anesthesia will be induced by propofol 2 mg/kg, rocuronium 1 mg/kg to facilitate tracheal intubation. After endotracheal intubation, and a combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine infusion. Anesthesia will be maintained by sevoflurane 2% in a mixture of oxygen: Air 1: 1 and continuing the infusion of dexmedetomidine and ketamine o maintain entropy 40-60.
