Brief summary

This research will study the bone fragility in obese patients, on DXA and CT-scan, in a transversal study. The investigators want also to study the specific risk factors of bone fragility in these obese patients (relationship between body composition on whole body on DXA, fat mass and its location, lean mass, weight loss after surgery and SBAC-L1), to improve the bone screening.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTDXA and CT-scan

DXA and CT-scan are usually performed during the following of these patients before bariatric surgery
