ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different types of weight loss surgeries: the laparoscopic Single-Anastomosis Duodenal-Jejunal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy and the laparoscopic Duodenal Switch. The goal is to find out if the first surgery is just as effective or even better for helping people lose weight over a five-year period.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 70 years old and meet specific criteria for weight loss surgery, as outlined by the National Institutes of Health. If you're chosen for the study, you can expect to undergo one of these surgical procedures, and your progress will be monitored over the years. It's important to note that individuals with certain health conditions or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding cannot take part in the study. The trial is not yet recruiting, so there will be more information available as it gets started.
