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 trial compares a “mini” gastric bypass procedure to help with weight loss in adults who qualify for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It’s testing whether the approach works well and is safe for people who meet the study requirements.
This trial tests a tube-like device placed in the upper gut to help people with obesity and related health problems lose weight. It may be an option if you haven't lost a lot of weight recently or taken certain medications.
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.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to convert a sleeve gastrectomy into a different type of weight-loss surgery (SASI) in people who have ongoing gastroesophageal reflux or haven't lost enough weight. The goal is to see if this endoscopic procedure can improve reflux and help with weight loss without the need for a traditional surgery.
This trial studies an endoscopic procedure that places a band inside the stomach to help reduce weight. You may be considered if your body weight is above a certain level and you’re able to safely undergo an endoscopy.
