Summary

This trial looks at whether measuring how many calories you burn at rest can help predict how much weight you'll lose after surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults of any age who are scheduled to have their first bariatric surgery. It aims to include a broad range of participants without an upper age limit, focusing on those interested in understanding how their body's calorie burning at rest might influence weight loss after surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the use of a ReeVue Indirect Calorimeter, which measures resting metabolic rate—the calories burned while the body is at rest—to see if this can predict successful weight loss following bariatric surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves only measuring metabolism with a calorimeter, there are no direct side effects from this procedure. It's non-invasive and simply requires patients to breathe into the device.
