Test of fixing the stomach to reduce reflux after sleeve surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks whether a surgical “fix” (omentumpexy) can reduce acid reflux after sleeve gastrectomy. It’s mainly for adults having sleeve surgery who have a higher-risk body weight and related health problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are scheduled for your first operation as a sleeve gastrectomy
- Your weight is in the right range: BMI 35–40 with serious health problems, or BMI 40 or higher
- You had at least 6 months of planned care with a team before surgery (multidisciplinary follow-up) and discussed the plan in that team meeting
- A psychiatrist must say there’s no mental health reason you can’t join, and you can understand and consent
- You have social security coverage

This trial tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy that aims to reduce the risk of acid reflux (GERD) after surgery. It is for people aged 18–65 with a BMI between 35 and 55 who already have some degree of GERD and are planning to have weight loss surgery.
This study compares two common weight-loss surgeries (gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy) to see which is better at treating acid reflux in people with obesity. If you have reflux and are considering surgery, this trial will randomly put you in one of the two surgery groups.
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.
This trial studies a specific type of metabolic (weight-related) surgery for people whose sleeve gastrectomy did not lead to enough weight loss or has caused significant weight regain. It may help improve long-term weight and related health problems.
This study tracks people with obesity who get an endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a procedure that reduces stomach size without surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective it is in everyday practice.
This trial compares two similar weight-loss surgeries (sleeve gastrectomy) in people who also have a small hiatus hernia. One surgery also repairs the hernia; the other does not. The goal is to see which approach gives better long-term results over three years.
