Bariatric surgery alters bile acid metabolism, which contributes to post-operative improvements in metabolic health. However, the mechanisms by which bariatric surgery alters bile acid metabolism are incompletely defined.

Therefore, we sought to define the changes in gut luminal bile acid composition after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG).
