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.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a surgical technique that reduces acid reflux after weight-loss surgery, improving patient comfort and outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added procedure also carries surgical risks like leakage or narrowing.
