9-Step magnetic revisional weight-loss surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies a specific 9-step approach using magnetic technology for people having revisional bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help improve how safely and effectively surgery is done for people who qualify.

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.
This trial compares two surgical options for people who have regained weight or didn't lose enough after a sleeve gastrectomy. It tests whether adding a ring to the standard revision surgery helps with long-term weight loss.
This trial tests a new procedure that uses magnets to reroute part of your small intestine. It is for people with type 2 diabetes or who have had a sleeve gastrectomy and gained weight back. The goal is to see if this magnetic treatment can help with weight loss and diabetes control.
This study tracks the safety and effectiveness of a new magnetic system that creates connections between parts of the small intestine to help treat obesity or other conditions. It may help you if you need this type of surgery and want to learn more about how well the devices work in real life.
This study looks at whether a specific stomach bypass revision (a “distal gastric bypass”) can improve outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass when weight loss was not enough or weight was regained. You may be considered if you meet weight-loss goals criteria and can join follow-up and possibly surgery.
