Recent evidence has pointed to distinct alterations of brain functions in obese subjects some of which may even be causative for their obesity. The objective of this study was to examine food and non food related alterations in brain functions after excessive weight loss due to Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB), one of the most successful therapeutic approaches for long lasting weight loss. The investigators hypothesized that obese as compared with lean women show an altered activation pattern in the brain areas involved in the homeostatic regulation of eating behavior, i.e. the hypothalamus, in reward-related brain areas, such as the orbital frontal cortex (OFC) and the striatum as well as in prefrontal inhibitory control areas. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesized that women who had undergone a RYGB operation show a brain activity pattern that more closely mimics that of lean than severely obese women. In a supplementary test the investigators will assess gastrointestinal and metabolic response to a standardized meal in order to elucidate putative correlation of these responses with the results of fMRI scannings.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| brain activity | In all women brain activity was assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI, BOLD Method, 1.5 Tesla fMRI Scanner, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) during the presentation of food and non-food related pictures as well as during state conditions. In all three groups, brain activity was measured at a single time point. Of note, women, who had undergone Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery were measured between 13 and 106 month after surgery. Brain activity was not measured before surgery in this group. | brain activity was measured at a single time point in all three groups; of note: women after Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery were measured between 13 and 106 month after surgery. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| gastrointestinal and metabolic responses to standardized meal | The gastrointestinal and metabolic responses to standardized meal were measured in the morning between 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. gastrointestinal and metabolic response were measured in all women at a single time point. Of note, women, who had undergone Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery were measured between 13 and 106 month after surgery. Gastrointestinal and metabolic responses were not measured before surgery in this group. |
