Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The general objective is to better understand the physiological changes resulting in weight loss from obesity surgery, particularly Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The main hypothesis is that the differential mechanisms of action in RYGB will alter the signals involved in the initiation and termination of meals, reflected by changes in both peptide hormone levels and regional brain activity in response to foods. The investigators anticipate that the trigger for meal initiation by potent food stimuli will be diminished following RYGB, as indicated by reduced brain activation in areas associated with food reward and motor planning, including the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). RYGB will be compared to: a. Gastric Banding (GB), representing the restrictive component of surgery, which itself enhances fullness, but in the absence of any rerouting of the gut, should result in fewer changes in gut peptide levels and brain activation; b. Weight Loss (WL) on a formula diet over 3 mo, which represents the weight loss component of surgery; and c. No Treatment (NT), a general control, with no gastric restriction or weight loss. These group comparisons will help parse the contributions of RYGB surgery to weight loss.
The plan is to study clinically severe obese subjects (S's) pre surgery, and at 3 and 18 mo post surgery. The investigators will examine: 1) fMRI brain activation in response to food stimuli and 2) appetite-related gut peptide levels before and following a fixed meal prior to the fMRI. The findings should reveal potential mechanisms associated with the changes in appetite, eating behaviors, and body weight, both during the rapid weight loss phase at 3 mo post surgery as well as when weight typically stabilizes at a nadir at 18 mo post surgery. The investigators plan to enroll 160 patients: 40 with RYGB, 40 GB, 40 WL, and 40 NT (4-arm study). S's will be within the BMI range of 40-50 and matched across groups for BMI, gender (3:1, f:m), and BED status.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
30 subjects who plan to undergo Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass bariatric surgery. Liquid meal responses and Behavioral fMRI responses to food-cues will be assessed before surgery (T1), 3 months (T2) and 18 months (T3) after surgery.
Liquid meal responses
Subject ingests a meal-replacement shake and gut peptide levels are measured before and after intake.
fMRI responses to food-cues
Subjects undergo a 40 min fMRI neuroimaging session while receiving auditory and visual food cues.
Gastric Banding (Lap-band)
30 subjects who plan to undergo Gastric Banding bariatric surgery. Liquid meal responses and Behavioral fMRI responses to food-cues will be assessed before surgery (T1), 3 months (T2) and 18 months (T3) after surgery.
Liquid meal responses
Subject ingests a meal-replacement shake and gut peptide levels are measured before and after intake.
fMRI responses to food-cues
Subjects undergo a 40 min fMRI neuroimaging session while receiving auditory and visual food cues.
Formula Diet Weight Loss
30 subjects who plan to begin a formula diet to lose weight. Liquid meal responses and Behavioral fMRI responses to food-cues will be assessed before subjects undertake a 12-week weight loss intervention (T1), at the end of the weight loss intervention (T2) and 18 months after they completed the weight loss intervention(T3).
Liquid meal responses
