Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) gastric bypass has on metabolism, including pancreatic insulin secretion. In addition, we will compare the effects of gastric bypass on the metabolism of adults and adolescents to try to determine whether there are greater metabolic and health advantages of performing gastric bypass earlier in life versus waiting until adulthood.
