Weight-loss surgery's effect on body and muscle in severe obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how a type of weight-loss surgery called bariatric and metabolic surgery affects your body composition, metabolism, and muscle function in people with severe obesity. It will help doctors understand how the surgery changes your body and health.
