Who is studied
In Bialystok Bariatric Surgery Study (BBSS), we observe a cohort study of patients who undergo bariatric surgery in the First Clinical Department of General and Endocrine Surgery of the Medical University of Bialystok. This center performs several types of bariatric surgery including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), adjustable gastric banding (AGB), and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in patients referred to the clinic by general practitioners and endocrinologists and who were qualified for the surgery according to the clinical physicians. Only patients who agreed to participate in the research project, specified in detail during written and oral patients consent, are included. Moreover, the study population consists of the group of obese patients who do not undergo the surgery and are followed-up without the surgical intervention and the non-obese control group of patients without obesity.
