The Effect of a 2-week vs. 6-week Low-calorie Diet (LCD) Followed by Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) on Body Composition and Surgery Outcomes in Obese Humans: a Dietary Intervention and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Liquid formula low-calorie diet (LCD), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and 1 other intervention for Morbid Obesity and Liver Fat. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Losing weight before undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery may reduce liver fat content and size thereby improving surgical outcomes. This study aims to investigate whether a 2-week or 6-week pre-operative liquid formula low-calorie diet (LCD) reduces liver fat further than a conventional food diet prior to RYGB using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The hypothesis is that the 2-week and 6-week liquid formula LCD will reduce liver fat further than the conventional food pre-operative diet.
