Comparing blood sugar control after two weight-loss surgeries
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares how well two types of weight-loss surgery control blood sugar levels over time. It may help people with severe obesity understand which surgery could lead to more stable blood sugar after the procedure.

This trial compares two types of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see which helps people with severe obesity lose weight and stay healthy. You might be eligible if you’re between 20 and 60 and are already being referred for bariatric surgery after prior unsuccessful weight-loss attempts.
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 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 study compares two types of bariatric surgery to see which one works as well as the other for weight loss and health. You may be a candidate if you have a high BMI and specific related health problems, and if certain stomach and digestive issues don’t apply to you.
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery to see which works better for people with severe obesity. Both surgeries are minimally invasive (laparoscopic) and aim to help you lose a significant amount of weight and improve obesity-related health problems.
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery to see how they affect hormones after a meal. It may help you choose a surgery that improves your health and weight loss.
