ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring two types of weight-loss surgeries: one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and long biliary limb Roux gastric bypass. The goal is to see how these surgeries help patients lose weight and improve related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea. The study will involve up to 500 patients from three clinics in Estonia, and participants will be followed for up to ten years after their surgery to assess their progress and overall quality of life.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 18 and 60 years old and have a body mass index (BMI) over 35 with related health issues, or a BMI over 40. Those who are younger than 18 or older than 60, have had previous weight-loss surgeries, or have certain medical conditions may not be able to participate. If you choose to take part, you can expect regular check-ups at one, five, and ten years post-surgery to monitor your health and any nutritional needs. This trial is unique because it specifically compares these two types of gastric bypass surgeries, which hasn't been done before.
