Distinct brain and neurocognitive transformations after bariatric surgery: a pilot study
Bariatric surgery resulted in worsening of preexisting brain structural integrity and lower cognitive function for obese patients compared to baseline. These distinct brain lesions are consistent with specific domains of cognition. Most of these changes reverted to patient's baseline condition within six months after surgery.
