Summary

This study looked at 80 people with severe obesity who had sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Researchers measured a blood protein called resistin before surgery to see if it could predict how much dangerous internal belly fat they would lose 8 months later. The goal is to help doctors understand which patients will get the biggest health improvements from the procedure.
