Research

Our physicians at Oregon Weight Loss Surgery, LLC actively participate in many research studies and clinical trials. Our patients benefit from these research activities by actively working with us to contribute to the scientific community at-large, helping to answer questions about bariatric surgery and weight loss.

Sometimes there is financial compensation for time and travel for patients who elect to participate in a research study. A separate application and screening process may be required for entry into each study. Specific study information is available below. Additionally, information on current research studies will be presented at new patient information sessions. To address any further questions concerning research at OWLS, please contact (503) 863-5255 and ask to speak with one of our research coordinators.
