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 observational study investigates the genetic and biomechanical markers of adipose tissue in patients with morbid obesity undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Participants will be invited after completing a thorough pre-surgical evaluation at UC Davis Health System, including lab studies and educational programs. Blood, urine, and fecal samples will be collected pre-operatively, along with tissue samples during surgery. Post-operative observations will track weight loss and the resolution of co-morbidities, with additional lab studies conducted at designated times.
