Interventions
Procedure: Bariatric surgery
Registration Number

Brief Summary

Purpose

The aim of this study was to analyze the changes of microbiota among patients undergoing LSG or LRYGB on two levels of gastrointestinal tract (using oral swab and stool sample). We compared samples from patients before and after bariatric operation.

The recommendations of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Section of the Polish Surgical Society were used as indication for surgery, that is: Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2 with obesity-related comorbidities or BMI ≥40 kg/m2.
