Several teams of MetaCardis (Inserm, ICAN, INRA) just published an article on "Major microbiota dysbiosis in severe obesity: fate after bariatric surgery" in the GUT journal http://gut.bmj.com/content/early/2018/06/13/gutjnl-2018-316103. on their research results from MetaCardis.
The coordinator of MetaCardis, Prof Karine Clement, has been interviewed by EASO on the current progress of MetaCardis.

Highlights
Assessing diet in the MetaCardis study
Small changes in dietary habits can have large consequences on your gut microbiome – the large collection of different bacteria existing in the alimentary tract. We now know that our gut microbiome can have a huge impact on our general health and wellbeing, including raising or lowering risks to certain diseases, as well as influencing their severity. As such, greater efforts are being focused on understanding the role of the gut microbiota in both health and disease. One such multicenter study is MetaCardis http://www.metacardis.eu, funded by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme...
