This study looks at whether using a robot during weight loss surgery is worth the cost. It compares outcomes for people having their first bariatric surgery or a repeat surgery for complications.
This trial studies whether an exercise program can help people prepare for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It aims to see if exercise is safe and beneficial while you’re waiting for your surgery date.
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 trial is building a database of people with obesity who have had or are planning to have weight loss surgery (metabolic or bariatric surgery). It helps doctors learn more about long-term results and safety.
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 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.
