No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Over the years, obesity has become a major public health concern. The increasing rates of obesity are associated with an enhanced demand for weight-loss with bariatric surgery as a treatment option. Bariatric surgery procedures alter the anatomical structure of the gastrointestinal tract, which contributes to the postoperative weight loss. However, it is not sure how obesity and the anatomical alterations of bariatric surgery affect the gastrointestinal physiology including gastrointestinal pH, gastric emptying, intestinal transit time and concentration of enzymes.
