New study pits two Weight-Loss surgeries Head-to-Head
NCT ID NCT02139813
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two types of weight-loss surgery in 256 adults with severe obesity. The goal was to see if a newer, simpler surgery (Omega Loop bypass) works as well as the standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, with fewer side effects. Participants were followed for two years to measure weight loss, complications, and quality of life.
