First seen Feb 13, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at whether losing weight through gastric bypass surgery changes bile acids differently than losing weight through diet alone. Researchers will measure bile acid levels in stool samples from 21 people with obesity. The goal is to understand the body's response to different weight loss methods, not to test a treatment.
