Two weight-loss surgery methods for severe obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two weight-loss surgery methods that reduce how much food your body absorbs, to see which works better for people with severe obesity (BMI 45–50). By joining, you may get access to a newer surgical approach aimed at helping you lose more weight and improve your health.
