This study is looking at how weight loss surgery affects women's sexual health, hormone levels, and emotional well-being. Obesity can disrupt the body's natural hormone balance and affect sexual function, but researchers don't yet understand how weight loss from surgery changes these things—especially in Middle Eastern populations. This research will follow women before and after their weight loss surgery to measure these changes and learn how they're connected.
While we know weight loss surgery helps with metabolism and weight, its effects on women's sexual health and hormones have been largely overlooked. This study aims to fill that gap and better understand how the procedure may improve not just physical weight, but also hormonal balance, mood, and intimate relationships.

If you join this study, you'll have your weight loss surgery as planned. Before surgery and again six months after, you'll complete questionnaires about your sexual function, mood, quality of life, and body image satisfaction. You'll also have blood tests to measure your hormone levels. Your partner will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire about their sexual function as well. The entire study lasts about six months from your baseline visit to your follow-up visit.
