Early Diabetes Resolution After Weight Loss Surgery

April 20, 2017 updated by: Naji Abumrad, Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Hormonal and Inflammatory Parameters Affecting Early Diabetes Resolution Following Weight Loss Surgery

The primary objective is to compare inflammatory, hormonal, and metabolic changes in the very short term after various bariatric surgical procedures (Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Adjustable Gastric Banding)and other abdominal surgeries, as well as to compare these changes to diet-induced changes in the same population.
