Comparing two endoscopic procedures for weight regain after gastric bypass
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two endoscopic procedures used to help people who have regained weight after gastric bypass surgery. The goal is to see which procedure is more effective at reducing the size of the connection between the stomach and intestine to help with weight loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had gastric bypass surgery in the past and regained weight
- Your doctor has found that the opening between your stomach and intestine has become too wide (dilated)
- You are scheduled to have a procedure called TORe to revise the bypass
- You have not had any prior revision of your gastric bypass
- You do not have severe acid reflux, untreated H. pylori infection, or other serious digestive conditions
- You are not currently taking blood thinners (unless they can be paused for the procedure)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 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 similar minimally invasive procedures to help with weight loss. The goal is to see which technique is safer and more effective for people with a high body mass index (BMI).
This study looks at people who are having obesity-related procedures, including options done with a scope (endoscopic) and revision after prior bariatric surgery. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care for people undergoing these treatments.
