Bougie size effect on stomach sleeve surgery results
This trial compares different bougie sizes during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy to see which works best. It's for adults with obesity (BMI 30+ with related health issues or BMI 35+), who have not had prior stomach surgery and have minimal acid reflux.

This trial compares changes in stool after two common weight-loss surgeries: sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. It aims to understand how these surgeries affect digestion and gut health.
This trial checks a specific surgical measuring tool (“bougie”) used during sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss stomach surgery). It may help the surgical team improve how the sleeve is formed while keeping safety in mind.
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 how sleeve gastrectomy affects metabolism, digestion, and weight loss in people with severe obesity. You are eligible if you recently had surgery and are not using certain supplements.
This study looks at factors that predict weight loss success after a non-surgical stomach reduction procedure (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty). It may help if you have obesity-related health problems and have not succeeded with diet or lifestyle changes.
This study is testing two different devices used during sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery) to see which one works better. The devices help the surgeon see inside your belly by filling it with gas.
