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.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show which revisional surgery is more effective for long-term weight loss and quality of life after sleeve gastrectomy failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a surgical trial with inherent risks like infection or complications. Results may not apply to all patients, and long-term benefits are uncertain.
