Brief summary

Improvement in cardiovascular mortality is related to changes in pathologic autoantibodies and in the number of circulating functional replicative competent endothelial progenitor cells (EPC's) after bariatric surgery.

Outcome results

Primary

Change in Late Outgrowth Endothelial Progenitor Colonies

Primary outcome is the change in Late outgrowth endothelial progenitor colonies 12 months after enrollment to surgery (LRYGB) or to standard medical therapy (SMT).

Time frame: 24 months

Population: Study population of patients undergoing bariatric surgery compared to a group of morbidly obese patients undergoing medical diet therapy pre bariatric surgery
