Abstract

Background Insulin resistance (IR) after bariatric surgery is significantly lower than controls matched for bodymass index (BMI) and is indistinguishable from lean subjects however it is not known if this is the same for associated cardiovascular risk (CVR) markers (endothelial function (EF) and clot structure and function (maximum absorbance (MA) lysis potential (LT) and clot formation time (FT). Objective We sought to determine if IR and associated CVR markers one year after bariatric surgery were comparable to post surgery age and BMI matched controls. Methods Ten patients had before and 12 months after Rouxen- Y surgery CVR measurements compared to controls Results BMI reduced after surgery to 33.3 ±1.7 kg/m2 p
