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.
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 tests whether two weight-loss operations (sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) can improve type 2 diabetes. It may help people with higher body weight and diabetes control, but it also requires meeting safety and health criteria.
This trial studies whether adding bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and a pancreas transplant can improve health in people with long-term type 2 diabetes who already received a kidney transplant. It may help with blood sugar control and related metabolic health, while also needing careful safety screening for kidney function and blood vessel health.
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 looks at which people with type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) are most likely to benefit from bariatric surgery. It compares people who are planning surgery with healthy volunteers to better understand how body changes relate to blood sugar.
