Summary

This study looks at whether adding a small bypass (gastroenteroanastomosis) to the standard sleeve gastrectomy can prevent or reduce acid reflux in people with obesity. Sixty patients will be split into two groups: one gets the added bypass, the other does not. Researchers will check for reflux using endoscopy, pH monitoring, and symptom questionnaires during follow-up.
