The aim of this study is to gain insight into brain structure and the neural networks that control taste and eating behaviour in patients with severe obesity undergoing a primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or a lifestyle intervention for weight loss compared with normal weight individuals, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

BOLD signal change after SG
To determine the effect of SG, at 10% weight loss, upon whole-brain neural response to taste, in the fed and fasted state, detected through blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal, in patients with severe obesity.
approximately 6 weeks
BOLD signal change after lifestyle intervention
average of 12 weeks
BOLD signal in response to taste in severe obesity compared to normal weight

BOLD signal change post-SG

Correlation of taste responses and gut hormones
approximately 6 weeks for SG group and approximately 12 weeks for lifestyle intervention group
25 participants, male and female, aged 18-50 years, body mass index (BMI) 35-50 kg/m2, due to undergo primary SG
25 participants, male and female, aged 18-50 years, BMI 35-50 kg/m2
25 participants, aged 18-50 years BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2, age and gender matched to group with severe obesity
Participant groups: 1. Participants with severe obesity 1. SG: 25 participants, male and female, aged 18-50 years, body mass index (BMI) 35-50 kg/m2, due to undergo primary SG. 2. Lifestyle intervention: 25 participants, male and female, aged 18-50 years, BMI 35-50 kg/m2. 2. Participants with normal weight: 25 participants, aged 18-50 years BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2, age and gender matched to group with severe obesity.
