Brief Summary

Morbid Obesity (MO) is considered the most important epidemic in the developed world in the twenty-first century. After initial assessment of morbidly obese patients and the exclusion of potentially correctable causes, management involves a combination of dietary changes, cognitive therapy, physical activity, psychological support and pharmacological treatment. However, any combination of these factors has proven long-term effectiveness in achieving significant and sustained reduction of excess weight. Currently, surgery is the only treatment capable of achieving this goal, interacting also with significant improvement in quality of life and overall long-term mortality. In recent years, several authors have reported excellent short-term results with performing sleeve gastrectomy, but whether some aspects regarding the variability of gastric tubulization design could influence the results obtained in relation to weight loss and functional changes and gastric hormones. The main objective of this study is to assess the size of the gastric tubulization (based probe calibration and the distance from the pylorus to which initiate gastric section) that can provide a better clinical outcome (such as excess weight loss) in patients undergoing surgery for morbid obesity. Secondary objectives were to assess the morphological changes, physiological and hormonal obtained according to the size of the gastric tubulization and its effect on weight loss patients.
