ClinConnect Summary

The Bariatric Surgery Registry is a study that aims to gather important information about people who have obesity and are considering weight loss surgery. This surgery can help individuals lose weight and improve their overall health, especially for those who have not had success with traditional weight loss methods. The registry will track patients for ten years after their surgery, collecting details about their weight, any complications that arise, and how their health, particularly diabetes management, changes over time.

To participate, individuals must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30, which indicates obesity. Unfortunately, pregnant women cannot join the study. Participants can expect their surgeons or hospitals to provide information to the registry, and they may receive follow-up calls to check on their progress. This registry is important because it will help ensure that surgeries are performed safely and effectively, and it will provide valuable data on how well bariatric surgery works for improving health and quality of life in Australia and New Zealand.
