Which revision surgery works best for weight regain after gastric bypass?
NCT ID NCT04894838
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two types of distal gastric bypass surgery for people who regained weight or didn't lose enough after an initial Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. About 150 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures and followed for three years. The main goals are weight loss and checking for malnutrition or diarrhea.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify the better surgical technique for helping people lose weight again after a failed gastric bypass.
- What could go wrong
