A total of 75, non diabetic adults, scheduled for bariatric surgery at Mayo Clinic Rochester, will be enrolled. Of these, 25 will be scheduled for Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery (RYGB), while the remainder (50) will be scheduled for Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG). The study team will play no role in assignment of the surgical procedure. Following surgery, at month 3, subjects undergoing SG will be randomized to either Saxenda or placebo, subcutaneously once daily. Subjects randomized to Saxenda or placebo will take for the duration of the study (33 months). Follow up study visits for all subjects will be timed to coincide with the standard clinical follow up visits at months 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36.
