Omeprazole
for Ulcers
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify the most effective way to take acid-blocking medications to treat stomach ulcers in patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * is taking an acid-blocking medication by opening the capsule and only taking the contents of the capsule (open-capsule) more or less effective than taking the capsule as a whole (intact-capsule) for treating ulcers in patients who have a history of gastric bypass surgery? * does taking the open versus intact medication decrease the number of procedures and complications from untreated ulcers? Participants with ulcers will be instructed to take acid-blocking medications (called proton-pump inhibitors) either by opening the capsule and taking only the contents or by taking the capsule whole. These medications are the gold standard for treatment of stomach ulcers. Participants will be asked to undergo an upper endoscopy (EGD) every 3 months to monitor the healing of the ulcers. Researchers will compare how quickly the ulcers heal depending on which way the medications are taken (opened up or as a whole).

ESD-TORe vs APC-TORe
for Obesity After Gastric Bypass
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two variations of the same procedure used to assist with weight loss in patients who have a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who have experienced weight regain. The procedure being studied is called the Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe), and the trial will compare two different ways to complete the TORe procedure. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Which variation of the TORe procedure results in more weight loss? * Which variation of the TORe is safer? Participants who are eligible and willing to undergo the TORe procedure to assist with weight loss will have the procedure completed either one of the two ways. All other care will be exactly the same between the two groups. Researchers will compare outcomes between the two procedure variations, looking at which one results in more weight loss, is more successful, and safer.
