What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the long-term outcomes of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and Sleeve gastrectomy in patients who underwent these procedures 10-15 years ago. Participants from three public hospitals in Norway will be invited for follow-up assessments, which include clinical examinations, blood sample collection, and questionnaires regarding their health, quality of life, and socioeconomic status. The study will analyze the effectiveness of these surgical methods in weight reduction and the remission of obesity-related comorbidities, as well as the prevalence of complications over time.

Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals who underwent bariatric surgery at the participating hospitals between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2015.
Not a fit: Patients who are unable to consent for participation or no longer reside in Norway will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effectiveness and safety of bariatric surgery, guiding future treatment decisions for obesity.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in evaluating long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery, making this approach both relevant and valuable.
