Those with prior gastric sleeve surgery may qualify, but those with other past bariatric or complex abdominal surgeries, or uncontrolled medical/psychiatric conditions cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of bariatric surgery: the standard Duodenal Switch (DS) and the Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal bypass with Sleeve gastrectomy (SIPS). It aims to determine if SIPS is as effective and safer than DS, with fewer nutritional/surgical risks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from both surgeries can include nutritional deficiencies due to altered digestion, surgical complications like infections or bleeding, and longer-term issues such as bowel obstruction or hernias.
