Summary

This study looks at how obesity affects the heart and blood vessels, and how these change after bariatric surgery. Researchers will collect blood, urine, stool, and fat tissue samples from 85 adults before and after surgery. They aim to understand how fat tissue and gut bacteria influence blood vessel function and heart disease risk over 12 months.

What this could lead to
