Impact of metabolic surgery on body and muscle health in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how bariatric surgery (a weight-loss operation) changes body composition, calorie burn, and muscle function in people with severe obesity. It aims to help you understand the benefits of surgery on your overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 looks at how to support long-term weight loss and improve how your body handles fat breakdown. It may help people who have severe obesity after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, but it has several health and lifestyle limits.
This study looks at how your body’s metabolism changes after a specific weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass). It may help researchers better understand what to expect and how to tailor care, while requiring blood draws and stool samples before and after surgery.
This study looks at how metabolism (how your body handles food and energy) responds after weight-loss surgery. It may help researchers understand what changes to expect in people with diabetes or prediabetes and cholesterol problems.
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 study looks at how your genes and metabolism affect changes in body composition after weight loss surgery. It aims to understand why some people lose more weight or gain muscle differently than others.
