Truncal Vagotomy for GERD After Bariatric Surgery
This study is looking at whether adding a procedure called a truncal vagotomy can help reduce heartburn and reflux symptoms (GERD) in people who are having a second weight-loss surgery. This second surgery is called a sleeve to bypass revision bariatric surgery. You might be able to join if you are over 18 and are already scheduled for this revision surgery. The researchers will measure your GERD symptoms and check your esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach) about 6 months after your surgery to see if the truncal vagotomy was helpful. The study aims to enroll 200 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
