The Role of Pre-Surgical Metabolic Testing for Procedure Selection in Bariatric Surgery
This study evaluates if measuring resting metabolic rate (the number of calories the body
burns at rest) before surgery can help predict successful weight loss after surgery.
burns at rest) before surgery can help predict successful weight loss after surgery.
This is a prospective study enrolling patients from the Baylor Weight Loss Surgery Center who
have met all of the requirements to proceed with primary bariatric surgery. Patients will
undergo pre-operative and post-operative metabolic testing (6 months, and 1 year after
surgery) using a portable calorimeter with eventual follow up of medical record at 5 years.
Data from up to 50 patients will be collected. The main objectives are to examine if the
pre-operative resting metabolic rate can accurately predict successful weight loss after
bariatric surgery and if it can be used to guide the selection of the type of bariatric
surgery that would be most successful for the patient.
