Identifying Mechanisms that Predict Weight Trajectory after Bariatric Surgery: Rationale and Design of the BioBehavioral Trial
Bariatric surgery is currently the most efficacious and durable intervention for severe obesity. The most commonly performed procedures in the U.S. are the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and the Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG), which involve significant anatomical and physiological alterations that lead to changes in behavior and biology. Unfortunately, many patients experience sub-optimal weight loss and/or substantial weight regain. Eating and physical activity/sedentary behaviors, mood, cognition and the gut microbiome all change postoperatively and have an association with weight change.
