Study for people who don’t lose weight after bariatric surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 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 trial looks at how to support long-term weight loss and improve how your body handles fat breakdown. It may help people who have severe obesity after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, but it has several health and lifestyle limits.
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 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 looks at your gut bacteria (your “microbiome”) around the time of metabolic surgery. It may help researchers understand how surgery affects gut health and related conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
This study looks at how body fat is stored and how that may relate to early improvements in diabetes and heart/liver health after bariatric surgery. It may help researchers understand why some people recover faster and which body changes matter.
