Does gastric bypass change how you feel around others? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05207917
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 113 people scheduled for either gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy to see how the surgery affects their social experiences and well-being. Participants will fill out daily diaries about their social interactions and mood at 6 weeks and 1 year after surgery. The goal is to understand whether these procedures change how people enjoy being with others or being alone, and how body image and gut hormones might play a role.
