Brief summary

A prospective randomized clinical trial of all the patients undergoing Roux - en-Y gastric bypass will be performed. Patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups: those patients receiving a preoperative balanced energy high-protein formula (group 1) and those receiving preoperative Immunonutrition (group 2). Changes between groups in acute inflamatory markers, pain, postoperative septic complications and lenght of stay, among others will be investigated.

Detailed description

A prospective randomized clinical trial of all the patients undergoing Roux - en-Y gastric bypass will be performed. Patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups: those patients receiving a preoperative balanced energy high-protein formula (group 1) and those receiving preoperative Immunonutrition (group 2). Changes between groups in acute inflamatory markers (CRP, fibrinogen, leucocites), pain (VAS scale), postoperative septic complications .(anastomotic leak and organ/space SSI)and lenght of stay, among others will be investigated.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTImmunonutrition

Balanced high-protein formula enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids. 200 ml of formula every 8 hours during 10 days preoperatively

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTBalanced high-protein formula

Balanced high-protein formula, without Omega-3 fatty acids. 200 ml of formula every 8 hours during 10 days preoperatively
