Summary

This study tests if weight-loss surgery is better than standard medical treatment for getting rid of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in obese people with advanced liver scarring. About 100 participants will be randomly assigned to either surgery or medical care. The main goal is to see if surgery can make NASH disappear without making the scarring worse.
