Predicting weight loss and health after weight loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your BMI is 40 or higher, or your BMI is 35 or higher with a weight-related health problem (like high blood pressure or sleep apnea).
- You are scheduled for one of two types of weight loss surgery: gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
- Your weight has been stable for the last 3 months (no more than a 10% change in body weight).

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 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.
This study looks at how your genes might affect how much weight you lose after gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery. You may be able to help doctors better predict weight loss results for future patients.
This study looks at how your body’s metabolism changes after a specific weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass). It may help researchers better understand what to expect and how to tailor care, while requiring blood draws and stool samples before and after 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 is creating a system to predict how well people do after weight-loss surgery for severe obesity. It focuses on patients getting either a sleeve gastrectomy or a gastric bypass and aims to improve recovery and long-term results.
