Brief Summary: The purpose of this research is to determine some of the reasons that blood sugar and insulin levels improve after bariatric surgery but before weight loss begins as well as why people respond differently to weight loss surgery It will also examine whether removing the fat around the stomach and large intestine the omentum will improve weight loss Finally it will see why there are differences between Whites and African Americans who have weight loss surgery
Detailed Description: The purpose of this research is to tease out the mechanisms related to changes in insulin sensitivity metabolism hormones and body composition following bariatric surgery Because preliminary data indicate differing responses to this surgery both Caucasian and African American adults scheduled for RYGB are being recruited to participate It is believed that the omentum contributes to hepatic insulin resistance both because of the increased delivery of NEFAs via the portal vein and the increased production of cytokines Because of this it is postulated that removing the omentum as part of bariatric surgery will speed up the reversal of insulin resistance and diminish racial differences in response to the surgery

Data are derived from tissue and blood samples obtained operatively from individuals having bariatric surgery and other abdominal operations as well as during hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps from indirect calorimetry DEXA Health-related Quality of Life surveys and 24-hour urine samples There were 66 participants randomized to omentectomyno omentectomy A post hoc data power analysis determined that this number of subjects is sufficient for data analysis
