Factors that determine long-term success after bariatric surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational follow-up of patients who underwent bariatric procedures five or more years ago to document long-term outcomes such as sustained weight loss, comorbidity status, complications, and quality of life. Clinical records, anthropometric measures, and patient-reported information will be collected at participating centers and analyzed to identify predictors of durable success or failure. The project aims to compare outcomes across different surgical techniques and patient profiles to inform surgical decision-making. Findings will be used to develop criteria for personalized surgical planning and targeted follow-up.
