- Morbid obesity affects 1.5-2% of the Dutch population, and laparoscopic Roux-Y gastric bypass is the top surgical treatment, known for effective weight loss and reducing health issues.
- The study will compare a very long Roux limb gastric bypass (fixed common channel length of 100 cm) to a standard bypass (variable common channel length) to determine which leads to better weight loss outcomes after one year.
- Key aspects being evaluated include weight loss percentage, quality of life, improvement in obesity-related health issues, complications, malnutrition, and rates of hospital readmission or re-operation.
