Summary

This trial looks at whether or not high levels of a stomach acid called gastrin lead to an increased risk of developing sores in the stomach lining.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with obesity or metabolic disorders who are already planning to have gastric bypass surgery. They must be able to give informed consent. It's not for those under 18, women who are or want to become pregnant soon, or anyone ineligible for the surgery.
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of gastric bypass surgeries: one where vagal nerves are cut and one where they're left intact. The goal is to see how these methods affect gastrin levels in the blood and if they influence ulcer formation after surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from both surgical procedures can include nutritional deficiencies, digestive issues like nausea and vomiting, ulcers at the surgical site, and changes in bowel habits.
