Brief summary

The investigators will study the Ileal interposition to the treatment of weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, assessing weight loss, body composition, quality of life, metabolic biomarkers, inflammatory biomarkers, and incretin hormones

Detailed description

This prospective, controlled, randomized intervention study will investigate the Ileal interposition to the treatment of weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, assessing weight loss, body composition, health-related quality of life, metabolic biomarkers, inflammatory biomarkers, and incretin hormones. The participants will also be assessed for alcohol abuse, depressive symptoms, level of physical activity, eating disorder symptoms, and dumping syndrome.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes of weight loss of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as measured by weight in kilogramsChange from baseline and after 6 months post-surgeryWeight loss will be obtained as the difference between preoperative weight and minimum postoperative weight in kilograms
Changes of Health-related quality of life of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as reported by 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaireChange from Baseline and after 6 months post-surgeryHealth-related quality of life will be assessed using the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change of metabolic profile of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as assessed by serum levels of glucose and insulinChange from baseline and after 6 and 12 months post-surgeryBlood sample collection will include serum levels of glucose and insulin
Change of inflammatory biomarkers and incretin hormones of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as assessed by serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, ghrelin, and glucagon-like peptide-1.Change from baseline and after 6 months post-surgeryBlood sample collection will include serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, ghrelin, and glucagon-like peptide-1.
Changes in alcohol abuse of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as reported by Alcohol Use Disorders Identification TestChange from baseline and after 6 and 12 months post-surgeryAlcohol abuse will be assessed using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test
Changes of weight loss of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as measured by weight in kilogramsChange from baseline and after 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgeryWeight loss will be obtained as the difference between preoperative weight and minimum
Changes in the level of physical activity of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as reported by the International Physical Activity QuestionnaireChange from baseline and after 6 and 12 months post-surgeryLevels of physical activity will be assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire
Changes in the eating disorder symptoms of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as reported by the Eating Disorder Examination QuestionnaireChange from baseline and after 6 and 12 months post-surgeryEating disorder symptoms will be assessed using the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire
Changes in depressive symptoms of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as reported by Beck Depression InventoryChange from baseline and after 6 and 12 months post-surgeryDepressive symptoms will be assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory questionnaire
Change of body composition of participants after Ileal interposition surgery as measured by lean and fat mass in kilogramsChange from baseline and after 6 and 12 months post-surgeryBody composition will be assessed through dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)
