Study how fat changes affect insulin resistance after bariatric surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body’s fat under the skin and inside the abdomen may affect “insulin resistance,” a common problem linked with blood sugar control. It’s for people who are scheduled for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, to learn more before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re currently a Stanford Healthcare patient and part of the Bariatric Surgery Clinic, and you have sleeve or RYGB surgery planned
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 30 and 55
- Your age is between 30 and 65
- You should not have diabetes based on standard fasting blood sugar results (fasting glucose less than 126 mg/dl)
- You should not have significant anemia, or major heart, liver, kidney, or stomach/intestine disease
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can’t have had bariatric surgery before

This study looks at why some people lose more weight and improve their health more than others after bariatric surgery. It also has a subgroup that specifically studies people who are insulin resistant (a sign of prediabetes) to see how surgery affects their metabolism.
This study tests whether weight-loss surgery improves how your body uses insulin and energy. It compares insulin sensitivity and related measurements before and after surgery to understand who benefits.
This study collects small tissue samples during planned weight-loss surgery to better understand metabolism and how insulin works in people with and without type 2 diabetes. You may help researchers by allowing their team to take these samples while you are already having surgery.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects fat metabolism, immune cells, and cancer risk in women with severe obesity and high cholesterol. If you are a woman aged 35–60, White or Black, with a BMI of 40 or higher and high triglycerides or LDL, you may be eligible.
This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
This trial looks at obesity care in people who have already had bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or certain abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand what treatments or follow-up care could work best for you after surgery.
