What would you ask bariatric patient's at least 2 years post-op?
Something along the lines of transfer addictions might be interesting.

Correlate diet type to long-term results - eg. Low-carb vs. no specific plan. Or rigorous tracking of food intake vs. not...
I think the hardest part is finding people who had WLS who are not on a forum like this... I'd think if you just used forums you'd end up with a somewhat skewed view of results.

I want to know about high protein (90 grams a day of protein) and success or failure of the patient at 3 plus years out.
Also about carb intake of over (30% or higher) and success or failure of the patient at 3 plus years out.
I want to know about bone density, or lack there of, and acid inhibitors. Okay, that might be off track.
I want to know about cancer rates of those who have had the sleeve, vs those who have not had the sleeve and had remained obese.
Good luck! Keep us posted!
