  • Conducted on 295 patients, the research utilized questionnaires to assess QOL and found that DG had better scores for nausea, vomiting, and meal-related issues in the first month after surgery.
  • Ultimately, the study concluded there was no significant difference in long-term QOL or body weight loss between the two surgical methods.
