Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Induce Long-Term Changes on the Human Gut Microbiome Contributing to Fat Mass Regulation
Open accessAbstract
Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective procedure for the treatment of obesity. Given the role of the gut microbiota in regulating host metabolism and adiposity, we investigated the long-term effects of bariatric surgery on the microbiome of patients randomized to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or vertical banded gastroplasty and matched for weight and fat mass loss. The two surgical procedures induced similar and durable changes on the gut microbiome that were not dependent on body mass index and resulted in altered levels of fecal and circulating metabolites compared with obese controls. By colonizing germ-free mice with stools from the patients, we demonstrated that the surgically altered microbiota promoted reduced fat deposition in recipient mice. These mice also had a lower respiratory quotient, indicating decreased utilization of carbohydrates as fuel. Our results suggest that the gut microbiota may play a direct role in the reduction of adiposity observed after bariatric surgery.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Bariatric surgery in women randomized to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) produced similar, durable gut microbiome changes about 9 years later that were not explained by BMI. Transplanting these surgically altered microbiotas into germ-free mice reduced fat deposition, suggesting the microbiome contributes directly to post-surgery adiposity reduction.
Key findings
- At 9.4 years after randomization, RYGB and VBG patients showed similar microbiome shifts; RYGB versus obese controls differed significantly, with 29 microbial genera differing in abundance, while VBG versus controls and RYGB versus VBG differences were not significant after multiple-testing correction.
- Metagenomic functional content differed: 928 KOs were enriched and 60 depleted in RYGB versus OBS, and 682 KOs were enriched and 33 depleted in VBG versus OBS; only 17 KOs differed between RYGB and VBG, all enriched in VBG.
- Fecal short-chain fatty acid/branched-chain fatty acid ratio decreased after surgery and was significant for RYGB; postprandial bile acid response was pronounced in RYGB, with increased total and conjugated bile acids and increased FGF19 response versus OBS.
- Germ-free mice colonized with RYGB or VBG microbiota for 2 weeks accumulated 43% and 26% less body fat, respectively, than mice colonized with OBS microbiota; RYGB-colonized mice also had a lower respiratory quotient.
Methods
- Cross-sectional human study of fecal samples from 14 women 9.4 years after randomization to RYGB (n = 7) or VBG (n = 7), matched for pre- and post-operative weight, BMI, and body composition, plus non-operated severely obese women (OBS, n = 7) and BMI-matched post-surgical controls (Ob, n = 9).
- Shotgun metagenomic sequencing on Illumina HiSeq 2000; reads aligned to 2,382 reference genomes and the MetaHIT gene catalog, with KEGG ortholog/pathway analysis and multiple-testing correction.
- Fecal SCFAs/BCFAs measured by GC-MS; plasma TMAO, choline, betaine, and bile acids measured by UPLC-MS/MS; fecal microbiota from three RYGB, three VBG, and three OBS patients transplanted into germ-free female mice for 2 weeks, with body composition and indirect calorimetry.
Limitations
- The paper states that the small sample size may explain the lack of distinct microbiota profiles between RYGB and VBG, and that bile acid gene findings need validation in larger cohorts and at shorter time points after surgery.
- The paper states that future studies of microbiome from patients achieving different levels of weight and fat loss are required to validate the findings.
- Evident from the text: the human cohort was small, all female, and diabetes-free, and the human microbiome–adiposity link is supported by mouse transplantation rather than direct human causality.

“These observations are of interest because high TMAO levels linked to TMA oxidation by the human hepatic flavin monooxygenase FMO3 have been associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) (Tang et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2011), while it is known that RYGB is associated with a lower CVD risk (Sjöström et al., 2012).”

“The increased levels of TMAO in RYGB samples might be the consequence of a less anaerobic metabolism in the RYGB intestine, which is supported by the broad increase of facultative anaerobes in RYGB microbiomes, and could occur due to the shortening of the small bowel.”

The causal link between alterations to the microbiota and the reduction in adiposity observed after bariatric surgery has not been previously analyzed in humans.

Both RYGB and VBG are associated with reduced luminal exposure to gastric acidity.
“For example, increases in pH have been shown to promote the growth of E. coli in vitro (Duncan et al., 2009), and both RYGB and VBG are associated with reduced luminal exposure to gastric acidity.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The observed microbiome shifts are attributable to bariatric surgery rather than to unmeasured differences in diet or other lifestyle factors.
“Importantly, the changes in the microbiome were not dependent on BMI or degree of weight and fat mass loss, thus revealing shifts in the gut microbiota that were specific to bariatric surgery.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
