MRI body changes before and after weight loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to measure how your body composition changes after bariatric surgery. If you are planning weight loss surgery, you may help doctors understand what happens to your body fat and muscle over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your BMI is 30 or higher.
- You are already scheduled for weight loss surgery.
- You can have an MRI scan (no metal implants, not pregnant, no severe claustrophobia).
- You haven't had weight loss surgery before.
- You are willing to have MRI scans before surgery and again at 3 and 12 months after.

This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to see how obesity and bariatric surgery affect the brain. If you are planning to have weight-loss surgery, participating could help researchers understand the brain changes that come with weight loss and might lead to better care.
This study uses extra detailed MRI scans before and/or around planned abdominal surgery to help researchers understand changes in the body. It includes people having surgery for certain cancers and some people having surgery for non-cancer (benign) conditions.
This study looks at how body fat and liver fat change after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or a lifestyle program. You may join if you have overweight or obesity and can safely have MRI scans, so researchers can compare results between treatment approaches.
This study uses brain scans to understand how obesity affects the brain and how bariatric surgery may change it. It compares people with obesity who are planning surgery to healthy volunteers.
This study looks at how weight loss and exercise affect brain health in people having weight-loss surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or usual care, and brain scans (MRI) will be used to measure changes over a year.
This study follows people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are having weight-loss surgery to understand how their body composition—the balance of muscle, fat, and bone—changes after surgery. The research may help doctors better support MS patients through weight-loss surgery.
