Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of participants with postoperative morbidity

    determine any morbidity related to the surgical procedure through the 5 years follow up

    up to 5 years

  • Change from Baseline weight assessed at different time points to determine maximal weight loss,

    determine changes in weight loss through 5 years follow up, measuring maximal weight loss.

    3,6,9 months and 1,2,5 years

  • Changes in weight assessed at different time points to determine weight regain

    identify changes in weight regain during the postoperative 5 years follow up

    3,6,9 months and 1,2,5 years

Study Arms (2)

Unbanded laparoscopic gastric bypass

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Laparoscopic Roux- en-Y gastric bypass without any band around de gastric reservoir

Procedure: Unbanded Laparoscopic Roux- en-Y gastric bypass

Banded laparoscopic gastric bypass

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Placement of a premeasured band or ring around the gastric reservoir, adjacent to the gastroenterostomy.

Procedure: Banded Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

Interventions

A 6.5-cm polypropylene Marlex mesh was placed immediately cephalad to the gastrojejunostomy. The gastrojejunostomy was hand-sewn in 2 layers using 3-0 Polyglactin for the internal and 3-0 silk for the external layer. The length of alimentary and biliopancreatic limbs was approximately 150 cm and 50 cm, respectively.

Also known as: BLRYGB, banded gastric bypass
Banded laparoscopic gastric bypass

A hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy in 2 layers using 3-0 Polyglactin for the internal and 3-0 silk for the external layer. To ensure a diameter of 1-1.5 cm,a 32F bougie was used to calibrate the gastro jejunum anastomosis. The length of alimentary and biliopancreatic limbs was approximately 150 cm and 50 cm, respectively.

Also known as: Gastric bypass, LRYGB
Unbanded laparoscopic gastric bypass
