Body Composition Outcomes in MS Patients

Objectives The objective of this project is to generate pilot data substantiating our hypothesis that advanced body composition measurement tools will provide more accurate and clinically relevant data on the outcomes of metabolic surgery (MS) in patients with severe obesity compared to traditional methods. To achieve this objective, the investigators propose the following aims: Aim 1: Evaluate the effectiveness of different body composition measurement tools in assessing outcomes in patients with severe obesity undergoing MS. Aim 2: Assess the changes in body composition and muscle strength following MS. Aim 3: Compare body compositions changes between SG and RYGB patients.
