Summary

This study compares two different tube sizes used during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a surgery that makes the stomach smaller to help with weight loss. About 100 adults with obesity will be randomly assigned to receive either a small (36-Fr) or extra-large (over 40-Fr) bougie to guide the surgery. The main goal is to see which size reduces the risk of stomach leaks, a serious complication, while still helping patients lose weight effectively.
