This trial tests a new robot-assisted device for weight-loss surgery in people with obesity. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well for metabolic conditions.
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery: one done with the help of a robot and the other done by hand (laparoscopic). Both are types of sleeve gastrectomy, where the stomach is reduced in size. If you qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, this trial may help doctors learn which method works better.
This study compares two programs for people with severe obesity: an intensive weight-loss diet and a weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery). It aims to see which approach works better for long-term health.
This study is creating a system to predict how well people do after weight-loss surgery for severe obesity. It focuses on patients getting either a sleeve gastrectomy or a gastric bypass and aims to improve recovery and long-term results.
This study looks at the emotional and psychological well-being of people with severe obesity who are being evaluated for bariatric surgery. It aims to understand what psychological factors might affect surgery outcomes.
This study follows patients undergoing one of two common weight-loss surgeries (sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass) to see how each affects binge eating, depression, and anxiety. Researchers want to understand which surgery may help improve both weight and mental health outcomes.
