Long-term follow-up after gastric bypass with an omega limb
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at long-term side effects years after gastric bypass surgery done in a specific way. If you had this type of surgery and agree to an endoscopy with small tissue samples at 10 years, you may help doctors understand longer-term outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had gastric bypass surgery about 10 years ago (between 2009 and 2013)

- At the time of your surgery, you met the official criteria for bariatric surgery in an expert center
- You’re willing to have an endoscopy at 10 years, with biopsies (small tissue samples)
- You can give consent and have health insurance coverage

This trial compares a new version of gastric bypass (with a longer 150cm bypassed segment) to the standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to see which leads to better weight loss and health improvements. It is for people with severe obesity who are already scheduled for surgery and want to help find the best procedure.
This study compares two surgical methods used for weight loss: OAGB and a longer-limb Roux gastric bypass. It may help find which option works best for people with severe obesity and obesity-related health problems.
This study compares two different ways of measuring the length of the small intestine during a type of weight loss surgery called gastric bypass. If you are eligible, you may help determine which approach leads to better weight loss results.
This study tests a stomach procedure (endoscopy) to help people with obesity lose weight or control health problems linked to weight. You may be considered if other weight-loss efforts have not worked and surgery is not the best option for you.
This study looks at whether a gastric bypass surgery with a longer intestine segment or a longer bile drainage segment leads to better type 2 diabetes remission in people with severe obesity. It may help doctors choose the most effective surgical approach and follow-up plan for diabetes improvement.
This study looks at what helps people do well in the long run after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. You may be able to join if you had the surgery about five years ago and are willing to participate.
