This study will compare glucose and simple carbohydrate sensitivity. The hypothesis is that
rapid emptying of high-glycemic index foods after Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) causes
reactive hypoglycemia. It is believed that the controlled release offered by an intact
pylorus will be advantageous for long term results in bariatric surgery. This study can
provide a scientific rationale, in a short duration of time, for why pylorus sparing
surgery, such as the sleeve gastrectomy or duodenal switch, may offer therapeutic
advantages, as compared to non-pyloric sparing surgery, namely the gastric bypass.
Clinical Trial Objective:
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether an intact pylorus prevents
reactive hypoglycemia following challenge with liquid glucose preparation and/or solid load
made of refined flour product that is a simple carbohydrate.
Clinical Trial Design:
This is a prospective, non-randomized, clinical trial.
