Summary

This trial is investigating how diet and sex affect the risk of kidney stones in people who have had gastric bypass surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals approved for bariatric surgery at the University of Chicago Medicine, who have no personal or family history of kidney stones. It's not open to those with vitamin D deficiency (levels below 25ng/mL), primary renal diseases, impaired kidney function (eGFR < 90), or known bladder voiding issues.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how a special diet affects the risk of developing kidney stones after gastric bypass surgery. Participants will follow this clinic-provided diet for six days and attend three research clinic visits.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves following a special diet rather than medication, side effects may be minimal but could include digestive changes depending on individual tolerance to the dietary regimen.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Sleeve gastrectomy subjectsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Inclusion Criteria: Age 18-70. Participants pre-sleeve gastrectomy who are approved and sleeve gastrectomy in the Bariatric Surgery Center at the UCM. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with primary kidney diseases, kidney stone disease, or kidney impairment (eGFR \< 90). Patients with known bladder voiding problems. Participants will complete a diet record and a 24-hour urine collection both before and after surgery. Participants will consume a 3 day fixed diet and present to the clinical research center for timed blood and urine draws. They will do this before and twice after (1 month and 1 year) surgery.
Group II: Roux-en-y gastric bypass subjectsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Inclusion Criteria: Age 18-70. Participants pre-Roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) who are approved and planned for Roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery in the Bariatric Surgery Center at the UCM. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with primary kidney diseases, kidney stone disease, or kidney impairment (eGFR \< 90). Patients with known bladder voiding problems. Participants will complete a diet record and a 24-hour urine collection both before and after surgery. Participants will consume a 3 day fixed diet and present to the clinical research center for timed blood and urine draws. They will do this before and twice after (1 month and 1 year) surgery.
