Study of fundoplicature after omega gastric bypass
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks if a second surgery to wrap the top of the stomach (fundoplicature) works well for people who had severe heartburn after a specific type of gastric bypass. If you had this second surgery in the last 2 years and your heartburn is better, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a specific type of weight-loss surgery (omega gastric bypass) and later a second operation to wrap the upper part of your stomach (fundoplicature) to treat severe heartburn. This second surgery was within the last 2 years.
- Your heartburn was not controlled with medication.
- You have lost more than half of your excess weight after the weight-loss surgery.
- Before the fundoplicature, you had tests to confirm acid reflux (such as an endoscopy, pH test, or CT scan).
- You are willing to fill out quality-of-life questionnaires and follow the study plan.

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.
This study looks at how a one-anastomosis gastric bypass changes how your stomach and esophagus work, especially relating to acid reflux. You may be offered the planned surgery if you fit the weight and heartburn/reflux-related conditions, and the team will measure changes before and after.
This trial tests how well esomeprazole (a acid-reducing medicine) works after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and how it changes the acidity in the stomach pouch. It may help confirm the best way to control stomach acid after bypass surgery.
This study compares two weight-loss surgeries—gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy—to see which one causes less acid reflux afterward. It may help you by tailoring which surgery is better for people with reflux symptoms before surgery.
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 study follows people for up to 8 years to see how two different weight-loss surgeries affect ongoing heartburn and acid reflux. You would join only if you were already enrolled in an earlier related study and can complete required follow-up visits and tests.
