NCT ID NCT05743166
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study followed 687 people who had bariatric surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) in Norwegian public hospitals between 2010 and 2015. Researchers aimed to see how long weight loss lasts and whether related health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea go away. Participants filled out questionnaires, had clinical exams, blood tests, and interviews to track long-term outcomes and complications.
