This trial tests a type of weight-loss surgery (called metabolic surgery) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control. It's for people who have struggled to manage their diabetes with standard treatments and have a BMI between 30 and 35.
This study tests whether bariatric (weight-loss) surgery can improve blood sugar control in people with obesity and either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. You may be enrolled in one of these glucose groups, and the researchers will monitor changes before and after surgery.
This trial tests a tube-like device placed in the upper gut to help people with obesity and related health problems lose weight. It may be an option if you haven't lost a lot of weight recently or taken certain medications.
This study collects small tissue samples during planned weight-loss surgery to better understand metabolism and how insulin works in people with and without type 2 diabetes. You may help researchers by allowing their team to take these samples while you are already having surgery.
This trial compares a new type of weight-loss surgery (single anastomosis) to the standard duodenal switch. It’s meant for adults with severe obesity and aims to see which operation is safer and works better for weight and health.
This study tests a new surgery that combines a smaller stomach (sleeve gastrectomy) with a rerouting of part of the intestine, which may lead to more weight loss and better control of conditions like type 2 diabetes. The purpose is to see if this procedure is safe and effective for people with severe obesity.
