Summary
This study is being conducted to evaluate changes in sugar, metabolism, heart function and
changes in body composition as patients lose weight following bariatric surgery. The
investigators will compare improvements of the above changes as a function of the four
different types of bariatric surgery. The investigators believe the most beneficial and
safest procedure will be the Roux-en-Y.
