Clinical Trial: Gastric Emptying After Sleeve Gastrectomy

Study Status: COMPLETED

Recruit Status: COMPLETED

Condition: Gastric Emptying

Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL


Official Title: Gastric Emptying Measured With MRI and Scintigraphy in Patients With Successful Versus Unsuccessful Weight Loss After Sleeve Gastrectomy

Brief Summary: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) increases gastrointestinal motility, which influences feelings of fullness and satiety.By understanding the differences in gastric emptying (GE) between patients with sufficient weight loss (Total weight loss [TWL] > 35%) and insufficient weight loss (TWL < 25%), better insight in the aetiology of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy may be obtained.GE will be measured with scintigraphy and MRI.
