Can belly fat scans predict weight-loss surgery success?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how fat around your belly and inside your abdomen, seen on a CT scan, can predict how well bariatric (weight-loss) surgery will work for people with type 2 diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be over 27.5.
- You must have type 2 diabetes.
- You are scheduled to have bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass).
- You must have a CT scan of your abdomen available.

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 weight-loss surgery (gastrectomy) changes blood sugar control in people who are obese or have type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if the surgery helps improve glucose metabolism, which could lead to better diabetes management.
This study tests whether two weight-loss operations (sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) can improve type 2 diabetes. It may help people with higher body weight and diabetes control, but it also requires meeting safety and health criteria.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to see how obesity and bariatric surgery affect the brain. If you are planning to have weight-loss surgery, participating could help researchers understand the brain changes that come with weight loss and might lead to better care.
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.
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.
