Changes in post-prandial glucose and pancreatic hormones, and steady-state insulin and free fatty acids after gastric bypass surgery

In morbidly obese nondiabetic patients, RYGB produces early changes in postmeal glucose, C-peptide, glucagon, and PP responses, and it appears to enhance insulin clearance early after RYGB and improve insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue at 6 months postsurgery. The early changes cannot be explained by caloric restriction alone.
