Stomach ultrasound study for bariatric surgery patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses an ultrasound (a safe, painless scan using sound waves) on the stomach before and after bariatric surgery to better understand how the stomach changes. It may help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at obesity care in people who have already had bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or certain abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand what treatments or follow-up care could work best for you after surgery.
This trial tests if two types of ultrasound scans can help see the gallbladder and liver better in people scheduled for weight loss surgery. It may lead to safer procedures.
This trial studies using an ultrasound scan of the stomach before general anesthesia in children having planned (elective) surgery. The goal is to better understand stomach fullness and improve safety around anesthesia.
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.
This study uses ultrasound to see how GLP-1 RA medications (like Ozempic) affect the stomach in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors better understand how these medicines work.
This study uses an ultrasound to check if your stomach empties normally before elective surgery. It is designed for people with diabetes to help make surgery safer.
