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 trial compares a less invasive heart/artery-based bariatric treatment (bariatric arterial embolization) with standard weight-loss surgery to see how they affect metabolism and type 2 diabetes. You might be considered if you have obesity with type 2 diabetes and have not had prior bariatric surgery.
This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
This trial checks how common medications work after gastric bypass surgery. If you are taking certain blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes medicines and are scheduled for a Y-shaped bypass, this study may help your doctors better manage your future treatments.
This study looks at how the hormone glucagon affects blood sugar in people who have had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery more than a year ago, compared to people who have not had any gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to understand glucose metabolism better and may help improve care for people after bariatric surgery.
This study looks at how blood sugar responds after bariatric surgery (or related surgery) and whether changes can be measured over time. It may help doctors better understand which people respond best after surgery.
