Summary
This study looks at 163 obese adults having weight-loss surgery. Researchers want to see if ultrasound and blood tests can replace liver biopsies to check for fatty liver disease. They also hope to find markers that predict if type 2 diabetes will go away after surgery. Participants are tested before surgery and at 6 and 12 months after.
