Zusammenfassung:	OBJECTIVE: We measured markers of acute-phase response and immunological markers in morbid obese patients and in formerly morbid obese patients after a massive weight loss following adjustable gastric banding (GB). SUBJECTS: A total of 49 morbid obese female patients with a body mass index (BMI) above 40 kg/m 2 were investigated during a study period of 6 months. Of these, 24 patients received a gastric banding (GB) and lost a minimum of 20 kg in 1 y (GB group) and 25 patients maintained their weight (obese group). In sum, 13 normal weight subjects (BMI
