ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand how weight loss surgery affects people who have a lower body weight and no serious health problems. Specifically, it focuses on patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 34.5, which means they are slightly overweight but do not have conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. The researchers want to hear from these patients about how their health, mood, quality of life, and overall happiness improve after the surgery.

To participate in this study, individuals must be medically cleared for surgery and provide consent, meaning they agree to take part and understand what it involves. Those who are pregnant, have a BMI below 30 or above 34.5, or have any serious health issues will not be eligible. If you qualify and choose to join, you can expect to share your experiences and feelings before and after the surgery, helping to fill in a gap in our understanding of outcomes for low-risk patients undergoing weight loss surgery.
