Dual isotope protein digestibility method
What this trial is about
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate protein digestibility after bariatric surgery. Does protein digestibility decrease after Roux-en-Y-Gastric Bypass? Does protein digestibility decrease after Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery? Does protein digestibility effect the ability to meet protein requirements?
