Gastric Bypass, Adjustable Gastric Banding or Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery to Treat Severe and Complex Obesity: a Multi-centre Randomised Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Gastric Band, Gastric Bypass, and 1 other intervention for Obesity and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 1,351 participants across 12 sites.
Detailed Summary
Obesity is an increasing health problem in the United Kingdom (UK) and is predicted to worsen. In the UK and worldwide the three most commonly performed operations are laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding ('BAND surgery'), laparoscopic gastric bypass ('BYPASS') and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy ('SLEEVE'). All lead to weight loss, but they are associated with different problems. This study (BYBANDSLEEVE) is a randomised trial with a target recruitment of 1341 patients in twelve hospitals and its aim is to compare the effectiveness, cost effectiveness and acceptability of BAND, BYPASS and SLEEVE surgery.

Interventions
Surgical intervention in which a band is inserted around the top of the stomach to reduce its size.
Surgical intervention where a small pouch is made in the top of the stomach and a loop of bowel connected to this pouch to bypass the rest of the stomach.
Surgical intervention which reduces the size of the stomach by about 75%, creating a narrow tube. It is done by stapling down the stomach and removing the remainder of the stomach.
