NCT ID NCT07636239

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study follows 40 people who recently had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy to see how their eating behavior, nutrition, and appetite-regulating hormones change over 6 months. Researchers will measure hormones like ghrelin, GLP-1, and PYY, along with dietary intake and eating attitudes. The goal is to better understand the biological and behavioral changes that lead to weight loss after surgery.
