Summary

This study tests whether a small, wearable device called the Reletex Reliefband can reduce nausea and vomiting after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. About 100 adults having robotic sleeve gastrectomy will wear either the active device or a placebo for 24 hours after surgery. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach works as well as or better than standard medications, with fewer side effects like drowsiness, helping patients recover faster.
