Brief summary

Data is limited on the long term (greater than 5 years) outcomes following gastric bypass surgery. We wish to compare a group of subjects who have had a gastric bypass operation greater than 5 years ago to a group of obese subjects who have not had the same gastric bypass operation. We particularly want to focus on teh effect this procedure has on long term metabolic characteristics such as blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol as well as some of the possible nutrient imbalances.

Interventions

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for patients with obesity +/- diabetes. This study will observe glycaemic outcomes, weight loss achieved and maintained, lipid profiles, hypertension rates and micronutrient status following at least 5 years since surgery.
