This trial tests whether taking extra protein and doing resistance training helps people keep their muscle mass after bariatric surgery (stomach reduction or gastric bypass). If you're scheduled for this surgery and can follow the program, you may be able to join.
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 tests whether following a ketogenic diet (a low-carb, high-fat eating plan) before weight loss surgery can improve your health and recovery. You will be asked to follow the diet for a few weeks before your scheduled Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
This study looks at whether measuring muscle mass before gastric bypass surgery can predict how much weight you'll lose afterward. Understanding this connection may help doctors better prepare patients for surgery and set realistic goals.
This trial tests whether taking protein-collagen supplements and doing resistance exercises can help people maintain muscle after bariatric surgery. It may be a good fit if you are between 20 and 50 years old, have a BMI of 35 or higher, and are not pregnant or in menopause.
This study measures how people eat and how their gut hormones change after weight loss surgery. It compares different groups to understand differences between men and women.
