Brief Summary:
Evaluation of serum gastrin levels and their effect on marginal ulcer formation.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Gastric Bypass Procedure: Gastric bypass with transection of vagal nerves Procedure: Gastric bypass without transection of vagal nerves Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Prospective, randomized, interventional trial. Participants will be randomized to one of two surgical techniques, either with transection of the vagal nerves, or without. Outcomes including compare marginal ulcer rates will be compared using serum gastrin levels before and after surgery and gastric pH during surgery.

Official Title: Effect of Vagus Nerve Preservation During Gastric Bypass on Gastrin Level and Marginal Ulcer Formation

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Gastric Bypass with Transection of Vagal Nerves Procedure: Gastric bypass with transection of vagal nerves
Vagal nerve interruption above the level of the stomach is a known treatment for complicated peptic ulcer disease. It is not commonly performed during routine gastric bypass. The vagi are, however, interrupted part-way down the stomach to create the gastric pouch. This is the pars flaccida technique.

Placebo Comparator: Gastric Bypass Without Transection of Vagal Nerves Procedure: Gastric bypass without transection of vagal nerves
Dissection between the neurovascular bundle and the stomach, spareing the vagus nerves. This is the perigastric technique.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of Marginal Ulcer [ Time Frame: From surgical intervention to five years after surgery ]
    Number of participants with a change in serum gastrin levels compared pre- and post-surgery.
