Genes and weight loss after bariatric surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery
- Your age at the time of surgery was between 18 and 65
- Before surgery, your BMI was 35 or higher with at least one related health problem, or your BMI was over 40
