Figure 3:

Breath test results for seven individuals after laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy. The y-axis represents breath values in parts per million at time 0 and then at 15 minutes intervals for 2 hours. On the x-axis, after the fasting breath value at time 0, each subject was given 25 grams of glucose to drink. Five of the seven subjects have an elevated resting breath test or a rise after ingestion of 25 grams of glucose, supporting the presence of upper gut bacterial overgrowth.
