Monitoring Patients Who Are Obese Surgery for Gastric By-pass Protein Supplementation and Physical Training (PROMISE)

Overview

The purpose of the study is to test whether additional protein intake with or without strength training will help to maintain body composition (fat-free mass) after surgical treatment of obesity by gastric by pass. The main hypothesis is that additional protein intake will limit fat-free mass loss during surgery-induced weight loss, and that strength training will have an additional beneficial effect

Design: Open randomised controlled trial comparing, in obese patients after GBP, an additional oral intake of protein with or without a muscular-strengthening physical training programme (18 weeks) to standard medical and nutritional follow-up after bariatric surgery as control (3 groups). Primary outcome: Variation at 6 months after GBP in total and appendicular fat-free mass as assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Duration of the study: 36 months. Duration of participation for one patient: 7 months. Number of centers: Monocentric study.
