Study Summary

One in three adults in the United States suffers from obesity. Bariatric surgery is an increasingly utilized and effective treatment for obesity and obesity-related comorbidities, however, the massive weight loss associated with bariatric surgery adversely affects bone leads to an increased risk of fracture. Bisphosphonate medications, such as zoledronic acid, are used to treat bone loss in patients with osteoporosis, and this study investigates whether this medication can prevent bone loss associated with surgical weight loss procedures.

Primary Outcome

Change in hip bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) - g/cm2

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebos
  • DRUG Zoledronic Acid 5 mg/Bag 100 ml Inj
