Summary

Super Obesity, i.e. a BMI above 50, is difficult to treat. Normal gastric bypass surgery is not always enough for proper weight control. Bypassing a longer segment of the gut may be more beneficial. Which part to bypass is not clear.

The investigators want to compare the effects between preventing a 60 cm proximal (oral) portion of the jejunum from food contact with the effects when preventing a 200 cm part of the jejunum from contact with bile and pancreatic juice.

Endpoints are quality of life, gastrointestinal function, and weight development.
