Bariatric surgery and memory problems in people with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery may affect memory and thinking in people with obesity who already have memory decline or dementia. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what changes to expect.

This trial tests if weight-loss surgery can reduce heart disease risk in people who have had a heart attack and have obesity. It compares surgery to standard care to see which helps heart health more.
This study looks at how exercise affects brain activity and helps people keep weight off after they have regained some weight following bariatric surgery. You may join if you had weight loss surgery, lost weight, and then regained more than 10% of that lost weight within the last 1 to 5 years.
This study looks at people who have had bariatric surgery but still struggle to lose weight (or lose it poorly). It aims to better understand how to help “poor responders” and what might be interfering with weight-loss results.
This study looks at how metabolism (how your body handles food and energy) responds after weight-loss surgery. It may help researchers understand what changes to expect in people with diabetes or prediabetes and cholesterol problems.
