Weight loss after gastric band surgery may be partly caused by changes to micro-organisms that live in the gut, say US researchers.
A study in mice has shown that surgery causes different types of bacteria to colonise the gut.
Transferring samples of those bacteria into healthy mice caused them to rapidly lose weight without surgery.
