Summary

The aim of this study is to assess whether the energy you burn daily increases after you have bariatric surgery. Until now, there hasn't been an effective way of measuring all activity on a daily basis. Physical Activity Monitoring System (PAMS) has been created just for this purpose. PAMS is a garment that can be worn under your clothes, that records body position and movement through space. We will use the PAMS along with special water to measure your total daily energy expenditure right before surgery, and again 6 months and 24 months after surgery.

Study subjects will be initially recruited from OHSU IRB-Approved advertisements. Interested study subjects will be screened through an informal telephone interview. If there are no health conditions that exclude participation, subjects will be asked to give IRB-approved consent.

Subjects will be consenting to undergo three 18 day phases. Each phase will consist of 15 daily visits to the Clinical \& Translational Research Center (CTRC), and 3 full day and nights in the CTRC.
