Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study is designed as a prospective pilot study for longitudinal assessment of fecal microbiome related to medical and surgical weight loss. The investigators follow the standard of care for perioperative and intraoperative management of study participants. The only addition to the standard of care protocol will be collection of fecal samples at 3 time points. This will enable investigators to compare changes in and effects by microbiota after low-calorie diet versus after bariatric surgery .
