Bariatric Surgery for Obesity
Study Summary
This trial is investigating why bariatric surgery is more effective than diet-induced weight loss in reducing obesity, with a focus on brain mechanisms. CSF neuropeptide, hormone, and protein levels will be measured to determine if some of the changes that are expected to occur after diet-induced weight loss do not occur after bariatric surgery.
