Summary

This study compares two versions of gastric bypass surgery for people who regained weight or didn't lose enough after an initial sleeve gastrectomy. Researchers will track weight loss, quality of life, and food tolerance over 5 years in 240 adults. The goal is to find out if adding a silicone ring around the stomach pouch improves outcomes.
