Nervous system changes after weight-loss surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how bariatric surgery affects the part of your nervous system that controls things like heart rate and blood pressure (autonomic function). It may help patients preparing for or recovering from weight-loss surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You are able to give informed consent.
- You have had (or are about to have) a type of weight-loss surgery: gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.
- You are either within 3 years after surgery, or will have surgery within the next 3 months (or had it within the last 30 days).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have a negative pregnancy test.
- You have not had autonomic problems before surgery, and your BMI is 35 or higher.

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 looks at how eating behaviors change over time after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help researchers understand why some people lose more weight than others and how to improve support after surgery.
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 study looks at how people perceive their bodies and eating habits before and after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. Researchers want to understand how surgery affects the way you sense hunger, fullness, and your relationship with food.
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 exercise affects brain activity and helps people keep weight off after they have regained some weight following bariatric surgery. You may join if you had weight loss surgery, lost weight, and then regained more than 10% of that lost weight within the last 1 to 5 years.
