Testing a bougie tool during sleeve stomach surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You are planning a sleeve gastrectomy as your main weight-loss surgery
- Your BMI is over 40, or over 35 with a condition that could improve after surgery (like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or serious breathing problems)
- A team of specialists has agreed on the surgery plan for you (multidisciplinary discussion), and you can sign consent
- You have NOT had prior upper abdominal surgery (except gallbladder removal)

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.
This trial studies what happens after a weight-loss procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and whether a “recalibration” approach can improve results. You may be considered if you have long-term obesity that did not improve with lifestyle/medical treatment.
This study looks back at people who had sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss operation) and compares results and complications. It may be a fit if you match the study’s age, weight, and health history, though it’s a “retrospective” review, so it mainly uses past records.
This study looks at factors that predict weight loss success after a non-surgical stomach reduction procedure (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty). It may help if you have obesity-related health problems and have not succeeded with diet or lifestyle changes.
This trial compares different bougie sizes during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy to see which works best. It's for adults with obesity (BMI 30+ with related health issues or BMI 35+), who have not had prior stomach surgery and have minimal acid reflux.
This study looks at complications after a type of weight-loss surgery called sleeve gastrectomy (removing part of the stomach). If you are considering this surgery and meet the weight/health guidelines, you may be able to join to help doctors learn more about risks and recovery.
