Brief summary

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve in patients with obesity

Detailed description

This is a prospective, single-arm study enrolling individuals with obesity. Participants will receive 3 months implantation of duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve (DJBS). They will be followed for another 9 months after removal of DJBS to assess the outcomes.

Interventions

PROCEDUREImplantation of duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve

The duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve (DJBS) is a 60 cm thin, flexible tube. It is implanted into the duodenum using an endoscopy procedure and is kept in place for 3 months. After 3 months, it will be removed endoscopically.
