[Agency] NIH [Project Title] LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION VERSUS BARIATRIC SURGERY FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA [Amount] $504,677 [Summary] The large weight losses seen with bariatric surgery are often associated with improvements or resolution of several obesity-related comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes. The proposed project is designed to compare improvements in diabetes control in obese diabetic individuals who are assigned by chance to one of three groups: 1) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; 2) laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding; or 3) intensive non-surgical weight management. In addition, the project will study the level of acceptance of surgical treatment of type 2 diabetes among physicians, health care providers, and insurance companies.
