DIT After RYGB - A Prospective Study

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Obesity; Morbid Obesity; Bariatric Surgery

• Registration Number: NCT01759667
• Lead Sponsor: Silvia Leite Faria

Brief Summary

Bariatric surgery is the only satisfactory treatment for loss and weight maintenance in obese patients. This loss is a result of several factors that go beyond the simple anatomical abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract and may be the product of post-op energy expenditure changes. The respiratory quotient (RQ) and diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) are important components of energy expenditure and possible changes in them can perform an important role in weight loss after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). Previously, we conducted a cross-sectional study where we measured the RQ and DIT in pre and post-op RYGB patients, which was published in the Surgery of Obesity and Related Diseases (SOARD) journal. The objective of this study is to perform a prospective analysis of these same variables (RQ and DIT), evaluating them in the same patients, when pre and postoperatively.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Post-op DIT increase	2 months	A post-op increase in DIT is expected to be greater than in pre-op period and may be a positive predictor for weight loss during the post-op phase.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Post-op RQ increase	2 months	A postprandial increase in RQ greater than that in the pre-op phase is expected showing improvement in carbohydrate metabolism after RYGB.
