Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Gastric Bypass for Private Pay Patients Seeking Obesity Surgery
- Conditions
- Morbid Obesity
- Interventions
- Procedure: Laparoscopic Sleeve GastrectomyProcedure: Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
- Registration Number
- NCT01063959
- Lead Sponsor
- Pennington Biomedical Research Center
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a safer surgery than the gastric bypass, gives similar weight losses and that the safety of gastric in private pay patients versus insurance patients will be similar. This is a retrospective chart review of intervention charts.
- Detailed Description
This study is a retrospective chart review of 800 intervention charts each for consecutive laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies compared to consecutive laparoscopic gastric bypasses performed by two surgeons in a Louisiana private practice. This retrospective chart review will evaluate the safety of the two procedures during the operative and 6-week post-operative periods, compare the insurance patients to the private pay patients having the gastric bypass, and comparative weight loss in subjects with a follow-up of at least 18 months. This offers the unique opportunity to compare any differences in surgical complications in subjects paying by insurance versus those paying personally for the gastric bypass operation.

Group Intervention Description Safety Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Chart review will evaluate the safety of the two procedures, incidence of complications operatively, hospital stay, and 6-week post-operative periods. Safety Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Chart review will evaluate the safety of the two procedures, incidence of complications operatively, hospital stay, and 6-week post-operative periods. Weight Loss Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Chart review will evaluate weight loss in subjects during the operative, 6-week post-operative, and follow-up of at least 18 months. Insurance versus Private Pay Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass An insurance company issues an insurance policy to cover specific complications from the gastric bypass or the sleeve gastrectomy surgery which allows the surgeon to offer a fixed price to the patient. Comparison of surgical complications in subjects paying by insurance versus paying personally for the gastric bypass operation.
