Experimental Treatment
Group I: Sleeve Gastrectomy SurgeryExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
30 subjects who plan to undergo Sleeve Gastrectomy bariatric surgery. Liquid meal responses and Behavioral fMRI responses to food-cues will be assessed before surgery (T1), 3 months (T2) and 18 months (T3) after surgery.
Group II: Roux-en-Y Gastric BypassExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
30 subjects who plan to undergo Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass bariatric surgery. Liquid meal responses and Behavioral fMRI responses to food-cues will be assessed before surgery (T1), 3 months (T2) and 18 months (T3) after surgery.
Group III: No TreatmentExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
30 subjects who do not undergo any treatment for weight loss. Liquid meal responses and Behavioral fMRI responses to food-cues will be assessed at baseline (T1) and at 3 months (T2) and 18 months (T3) later.
Group IV: Gastric Banding (Lap-band)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
30 subjects who plan to undergo Gastric Banding bariatric surgery. Liquid meal responses and Behavioral fMRI responses to food-cues will be assessed before surgery (T1), 3 months (T2) and 18 months (T3) after surgery.
Group V: Formula Diet Weight LossExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
30 subjects who plan to begin a formula diet to lose weight. Liquid meal responses and Behavioral fMRI responses to food-cues will be assessed before subjects undertake a 12-week weight loss intervention (T1), at the end of the weight loss intervention (T2) and 18 months after they completed the weight loss intervention(T3).
