In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Prospective study with inclusion of bariatric surgery candidates with diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea and requiring treatment with Continuous Positive Air Pressure, aiming to evaluate at 2-6-12 months after bariatric surgery whether the relationship between biometric changes (reduction in neck circumference, height, waist/hip ratio, and fat and lean mass) and the resolution of OSA is better than the relationship between these biometric changes and BMI reduction.
