Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) Secondary · baseline and 36 months

LDL's carry cholesterol through the bloodstream. LDL is called bad cholesterol because high amounts can form plaques in the blood vessels, increasing risk for heart disease. Adult normal range is less than 100 mg/dL.

Sponsor's own description

Observational studies suggest that bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for weight loss. Comparative effectiveness of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) demonstrate that RYGB is significantly superior to SG in terms of weight loss and glycemic control. Both RYGB and SG increase GLP-1 concentrations which directly affect B-cell function. Data has shown that the postprandial rise in GLP-1 might affect feeding behavior after RYGB and to a lesser extent SG, where the increase in GLP-1 is less marked. In this study the investigators propose to randomize subjects undergoing SG to receive either placebo or Liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, to compare weight loss and CV risk factors.
