Probiotics for Gallstones in Post-bariatric Surgery Patients
Obesity is an increasing epidemic worldwide and has a significant impact on human health and socioeconomics. Multiple studies have shown that bariatric surgery increases the risk of postoperative gallbladder stones. Contributing factors to gallstone formation include gallbladder motility and bile supersaturation due to rapid weight loss and cholesterol mobilization. At …
Medication Following Bariatric Surgery for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The aim of this study is to investigate the continued usage of standard diabetes medications in the post operative period following bariatric surgery to determine whether this approach may improve long term diabetes control. At present, the standard of treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes is that all medication …
The Effect of Exercise in Patients Awaiting Bariatric Surgery
The aim of this project is to understand the impact of a four week preoperative exercise programme on fitness and metabolic rate and weight before surgery. A multi-site randomised trial sponsored by UCL, recruiting patients awaiting bariatric surgery for obesity at University College London Hospital (UCLH), Whittington Health NHS Trust, …
Metabolic Effects of Bariatric Arterial Embolization vs Bariatric Surgery
Obesity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) are two of the most common chronic diseases of the Western society. Obesity is one critical factor in DMT2 development, with weight loss having profound beneficial effects on DMT2 and improving the metabolic pathophysiology leading to hyperglycemia. Observational studies reported that surgical intervention …
EOI Block Versus ESP Block in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery
This study aims to compare a single shot of bilateral ultrasound-guided EOI block and ESPB in terms of intraoperative opioid consumption, postoperative pain control in the first 24 hours, and the need for rescue analgesics.
Bariatric Surgery Combined With GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Study
Obese patients exhibit considerable heterogeneity and complex comorbidities, making long-term effective management challenging with single therapies. While bariatric surgery remains the most effective weight-loss intervention, postoperative weight regain and metabolic deterioration require attention. GLP-1 RAs offer distinct advantages for weight and metabolic improvement, and their combined application with surgery may …
Pharmacological and Behavioral Treatment After Bariatric Surgery: Acute (Stage 1)
This study will compare the effectiveness of behavioral and pharmacologic treatments, alone and in combination, for the treatment of loss-of-control eating and weight following bariatric surgery. This is an acute treatment comparing behavioral weight loss alone or in combination with combination naltrexone/bupropion medication.
Bisphosphonate Use to Mitigate Bone Loss Secondary to Bariatric Surgery
The purpose of this research study is to see whether receiving a bisphosphonate medication called risedronate can reduce bone and muscle loss following bariatric surgery. Participation will involve up to 6 study visits and last about 1 year. Risedronate is a medication that prevents bone breakdown and has been approved …
Taste Physiology in Obese Volunteers Before and After Bariatric Surgery
The objective is to investigate neuro-anatomical correlates of gastrointestinal taste stimulation by means of functional MRI before and after bariatric surgery. Intragastric administration of glucose, monosodium glutamate, chloroquine and placebo is followed by functional brain MRI in obese humans before and 3 months after surgery.
Use of Very Low Calorie Diet Preoperatively to Bariatric Surgery
To investigate use of Very Low Calorie Diet preoperatively to bariatric surgery can optimize weight loss prior to surgery and increase the patients' satisfaction.
