Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of mechanisms whereby bariatric surgery modulates pulmonary inflammation and pulmonary microbiome composition and how these changes direct the pathobiology of human obese asthma.
