The changes in risks of developing coronary heart disease in patients with morbid obesity after different weight loss interventions have not been extensively studied. The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether an intensive lifestyle intervention program in a tertiary care clinic (Spesialsykehuset for Rehabilitering) is comparable with a 7-week low-energy-diet followed by bariatric surgery in decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease in these patients.
