NCT ID NCT02823665

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looks at how two types of weight-loss surgery—gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy—change the way the body handles sugar after a meal. Researchers will measure insulin levels in 200 people, including those who had surgery and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand the role of nerves and hormones in these changes, not to test a new treatment.
