Read our Obesity research guide →This is a three-year research study that follows people before and after weight loss surgery to understand how the procedure affects mental health, stress levels, and emotional wellbeing. Researchers will measure psychological symptoms, stress hormones (using a hair sample), eating behaviors, and quality of life at five different time points — before surgery and at 1 month, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after surgery.
While weight loss surgery is effective at reducing weight, doctors want to better understand its effects on mental health — both positive and negative. This research will help identify who might need psychological support before or after surgery, so patients can get the right care at the right time.

If you join this study, you will complete detailed assessments before your surgery and then at scheduled visits 1 month, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after surgery. At each visit, you'll answer questionnaires about your mood, stress, eating habits, and quality of life; have physical measurements taken; and provide a small hair sample to measure stress hormones. The entire study lasts three years, and researchers will use this information to understand how surgery affects your mental health and wellbeing over time.
