Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is being done to learn about the changes that weight loss causes on brain function, memory and thinking ability in adults. The study does NOT cover any costs associated with bariatric surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There will be two groups of people studied:

One group has chosen (independently of this research study) to have weight loss surgery to help them lose weight.

Another group will not choose to have any weight loss surgery. All research participants will be tested on thinking and memory processes at the start of the study, after 12 weeks, and again at 18 months. They will have an MRI Brain Scan at those same times also to look at changes in the structure and function of the brain tissue.

Blood tests will be done to measure the sugar levels in the blood, and other proteins that may act as markers for disease.
