Robot-assisted vs. traditional sleeve gastrectomy
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery: one done with the help of a robot and the other done by hand (laparoscopic). Both are types of sleeve gastrectomy, where the stomach is reduced in size. If you qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, this trial may help doctors learn which method works better.

Bariatric-style surgery vs best diabetes care for long remission
This trial compares surgery plus follow-up care versus the best non-surgical (medical) treatment to help people keep type 2 diabetes in remission for a long time. It may be an option if you have higher body weight and diabetes that’s not well controlled, but safety checks are strict.
Québec, QuebecAges 18–60 - NCT05325736Recruiting
Study how bariatric surgery changes blood sugar response
This study looks at how blood sugar responds after bariatric surgery (or related surgery) and whether changes can be measured over time. It may help doctors better understand which people respond best after surgery.

Study blood sugar and pregnancy outcomes after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how blood sugar and related markers change during pregnancy after weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve). It also compares pregnancy outcomes, to help understand what to expect and how to monitor you during pregnancy.
AalstAges 18–45 - NCT04411823Recruiting
Predicting reflux after stomach sleeve surgery
This trial looks at how to predict who will develop acid reflux after a “stomach sleeve” operation. It may help doctors choose the safest plan before surgery and better prevent reflux afterward.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07098780RecruitingPhase 4
Tranexamic Acid to Prevent Bleeding in Weight Loss Surgery
This trial tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce bleeding during weight loss surgery. If you are having a sleeve gastrectomy or mini-gastric bypass, taking TXA may lower your risk of hemorrhagic events.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT06198790Recruiting
Anemia after weight loss surgery
This study looks at how common anemia is after weight loss surgery. It follows people who have sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass to see if they develop anemia.
BeijingAges 16–70 - NCT06474637Recruiting
Powered handle sleeve gastrectomy study
This trial tests a new powered handle tool that doctors use during sleeve gastrectomy surgery to help people lose weight. It is for patients having this surgery for the first time.
KaunasAges 18–65 - NCT05611697Recruiting
Compare two weight-loss surgeries for severe obesity
This trial compares two types of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see which helps people with severe obesity lose weight and stay healthy. You might be eligible if you’re between 20 and 60 and are already being referred for bariatric surgery after prior unsuccessful weight-loss attempts.
Tønsberg, VestfoldAges 20–60 - NCT07568938Recruiting
Anesthesia types and stress response in weight-loss surgery
This study compares two anesthesia methods—inhaled gas (desflurane) versus IV medication (TIVA)—during weight-loss surgery to see how each affects your body's stress response and recovery. The goal is to understand which approach may be safer and more comfortable for patients having bariatric surgery.
AthensAges 18–65 - NCT07525232Recruiting
Breathing strategies during weight-loss surgery
This trial tests two different ways to keep your lungs inflated with air during bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. Researchers want to see which method helps you breathe better and recover faster after your procedure.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT02937649Recruiting
Testing a bougie tool during sleeve stomach surgery
This trial checks a specific surgical measuring tool (“bougie”) used during sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss stomach surgery). It may help the surgical team improve how the sleeve is formed while keeping safety in mind.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18–70 - NCT06292936Recruiting
Remi for weight regain after weight loss surgery
This study tests if the medication Remi can help people who have gained back at least 5% of their lowest weight after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It is meant for those who are not currently using other weight loss drugs and are otherwise healthy enough to participate.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT07063979Recruiting
Using a nerve-stimulation band to reduce nausea after weight-loss surgery
This trial tests if adding a small nerve-stimulation device (Reliefband) to standard recovery care can help prevent nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours after robotic sleeve gastrectomy. If you are having this surgery and match the criteria, you may be able to join.
Plainsboro, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06934655RecruitingPhase 3
Starting semaglutide again after weight-loss surgery in teens
This trial tests if restarting semaglutide (a weekly injection for weight loss) soon after sleeve gastrectomy helps teens with severe obesity keep losing weight. It is for patients who were already taking semaglutide before their surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12–18 - NCT05987631Recruiting
Predicting weight loss and health after weight loss surgery
This study looks at why some people lose more weight and improve their health more than others after bariatric surgery. It also has a subgroup that specifically studies people who are insulin resistant (a sign of prediabetes) to see how surgery affects their metabolism.
Gouda, South HollandAges 18–75 - NCT07397572Recruiting
Iron pills and anemia after sleeve gastrectomy
This study tests whether giving iron supplements after sleeve gastrectomy surgery helps prevent or treat anemia. It may be a good fit if you are planning to have this weight-loss surgery and can commit to 6 months of follow-up.
Cairo, Al-Manial CairoAges 18–65 - NCT05777928Recruiting
Tests satiety changes after bariatric surgery revision
This study looks at how feelings of fullness (satiety) change in people getting bariatric surgery—either a sleeve gastrectomy or a revision procedure. It may help improve how well weight-loss stays on track after surgery.
MilanAges 18–65 - NCT05608772Recruiting
Revision weight-loss surgery after failed sleeve
This study looks at which revision surgery works best after a prior sleeve stomach operation that didn’t last. It tests switching to one of three procedures to help with weight regain, and it excludes more severe acid reflux cases.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges 18–60 - NCT06757296Recruiting
Endoscopic revision of sleeve gastrectomy for reflux or poor weight loss
This study tests a new, less invasive way to convert a sleeve gastrectomy into a different type of weight-loss surgery (SASI) in people who have ongoing gastroesophageal reflux or haven't lost enough weight. The goal is to see if this endoscopic procedure can improve reflux and help with weight loss without the need for a traditional surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT07461610Recruiting
Stool analysis after sleeve gastrectomy vs gastric bypass
This trial compares changes in stool after two common weight-loss surgeries: sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. It aims to understand how these surgeries affect digestion and gut health.
