Compare two weight-loss surgeries in people with high BMI
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of bariatric surgery to see which one works as well as the other for weight loss and health. You may be a candidate if you have a high BMI and specific related health problems, and if certain stomach and digestive issues don’t apply to you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your BMI is 40 or higher, or 35 or higher with at least one related condition (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, or hip/knee osteoarthritis).
