This study follows adults who have bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see what outcomes they experience afterward. It may help doctors better understand how well the surgery works in real life.
This trial compares changes in stool after two common weight-loss surgeries: sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. It aims to understand how these surgeries affect digestion and gut health.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive weight-loss surgery: gastric bypass versus a gastric band. It looks at which approach works better and is safer for people who qualify for bariatric surgery and have not succeeded with supervised weight-loss programs.
This study compares two different ways of measuring the length of the small intestine during a type of weight loss surgery called gastric bypass. If you are eligible, you may help determine which approach leads to better weight loss results.
This study looks at whether a gastric bypass surgery with a longer intestine segment or a longer bile drainage segment leads to better type 2 diabetes remission in people with severe obesity. It may help doctors choose the most effective surgical approach and follow-up plan for diabetes improvement.
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.
