Brief summary
This proposal is designed to examine the impact of bariatric surgery on the health of patients and their families. The shared environment of spouses/cohabitating partners suggests that patients' families are exposed to the extensive diet and lifestyle changes required of patients following bariatric surgery.
Detailed description
The specific aims of this proposal are to: 1. Collect clinical data (e.g., weight, blood pressure, body composition, blood sample), as well as monitor physical activity and eating patterns, before and after bariatric surgery (Adults Only). 2. Analyze clinical data, physical activity and eating patterns to determine how the health of patients and their families change after one family member completes bariatric surgery (Adults Only). 3. Determine the feasibility of recruiting patients, spouses/partners and their children.
