Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, Bariatric Surgery Effects on Brain Function

This study is being done to learn about the changes that weight loss causes on brain
function, memory and thinking ability in adults. The study does NOT cover any costs
associated with bariatric surgery.

There will be two groups of people studied:

One group has chosen (independently of this research study) to have weight loss surgery to
help them lose weight.

Another group will not choose to have any weight loss surgery. All research participants will
be tested on thinking and memory processes at the start of the study, after 12 weeks, and
again at 18 months. They will have an MRI Brain Scan at those same times also to look at
changes in the structure and function of the brain tissue.

Blood tests will be done to measure the sugar levels in the blood, and other proteins that
may act as markers for disease.
