Brief summary

The Bialystok Bariatric Surgery Study (BBSS) is a prospective observational cohort study of patients undergoing bariatric surgery at the First Clinical Department of General and Endocrine Surgery at the Medical University of Bialystok. The BBSS consists of a battery of baseline tests established one month prior to the surgery and repeated at one, three, six, twelve and twenty four-month follow-up clinical visits.
