Bariatric surgery patient registry study
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows people who have weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) to see how it affects their health. It may be an option if you have obesity or type 2 diabetes and meet certain weight and health criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Adults between 16 and 65 years old
- Have obesity with a BMI of 27.5 or higher, or a BMI of 27.5 to 32.5 with weight-related health problems or central obesity (large waist circumference)
- If you have type 2 diabetes, your BMI must be 27.5 or higher and your pancreas still makes some insulin
- No type 1 diabetes or certain other diabetes types
- Able to understand the surgery and its risks, and willing to follow diet and lifestyle changes after surgery
- Not pregnant (if female) and in generally good health for surgery and anesthesia

This trial studies bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and how well it helps people reach and keep a healthier weight. You may qualify if you have severe obesity and have not been able to maintain weight loss with other attempts, and if you can safely follow the study plan.
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 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 is building a database of people with obesity who have had or are planning to have weight loss surgery (metabolic or bariatric surgery). It helps doctors learn more about long-term results and safety.
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 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.
