Looking back at bariatric surgery outcomes in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks back at people who had sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss operation) and compares results and complications. It may be a fit if you match the study’s age, weight, and health history, though it’s a “retrospective” review, so it mainly uses past records.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows adults who have bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see what outcomes they experience afterward. It may help doctors better understand how well the surgery works in real life.
This trial compares changes in stool after two common weight-loss surgeries: sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. It aims to understand how these surgeries affect digestion and gut health.
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) affects a woman's sexual function and hormone levels. It follows women who are already scheduled for surgery to see if their sexual health changes after the procedure.
This trial studies what happens after a weight-loss procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and whether a “recalibration” approach can improve results. You may be considered if you have long-term obesity that did not improve with lifestyle/medical treatment.
This study looks at complications after a type of weight-loss surgery called sleeve gastrectomy (removing part of the stomach). If you are considering this surgery and meet the weight/health guidelines, you may be able to join to help doctors learn more about risks and recovery.
This trial compares two types of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see which helps people with severe obesity lose weight and stay healthy. You might be eligible if you’re between 20 and 60 and are already being referred for bariatric surgery after prior unsuccessful weight-loss attempts.
