Read our Obesity research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares two types of weight loss surgery—sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass—to understand how each one affects binge eating, depression, and anxiety after the procedure. Researchers want to know which surgery may lead to better mental health outcomes for people living with obesity. You would have one of these two surgeries and complete questionnaires over 12 months to track changes in your eating habits and mood.
While both surgeries help people lose weight, doctors don't yet know which one is better for mental health and eating behaviors after surgery. This study fills that gap by directly comparing how each procedure affects depression, anxiety, and binge eating over time.

You would undergo one of the two weight loss surgeries under general anesthesia. After surgery, you would attend follow-up visits at 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and then monthly for the next 12 months. At each visit, you would complete questionnaires (in Arabic) about your mood, anxiety, eating habits, and body image. Researchers would also track your weight and BMI throughout the year. You would need to follow postoperative dietary guidelines and lifestyle recommendations throughout the study.
