One group of patients of the study will have done the simplified laparoscopic gastric bypass, with a vertical gastric pouch of about 20 ml, a 150 cm Roux-en-Y limb constructed in an antegastric antecolic fashion, and a biliary limb of 100 cm. Anastomosis will be done with endoscopic surgical linear stapler, closing the apertures with continuous absorbable running sutures. The Petersen space and the mesenteric defect will be closed with non-absorbable sutures. The other group of patients will have performed the single anastomosis gastric bypass, also known as the Minigastric bypass (MGB), which have a vertical gastric pouch about 100-150 ml, and an end to side gastro-jejunal anastomosis at 200 cm from Treitz angle. The anastomosis will be done with endoscopic surgical linear stapler, closing the aperture with continuous absorbable running sutures.The Petersen space will be also close with non-absorbable sutures. The investigators randomly assigned 10 patients to each group, n=20. Considering that one of the methods is basically the same than the other, but for the Roux-en-Y construction, it is expected a clear difference in operating room (OR) time, between groups. Fisher Test, will be used for the statistical analysis, assuming a risk of 0.05 and a statistical power of 90%, and Mann-Whitney test for quantitative parameters. Once patients were included in the study, they were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the conventional laparoscopic gastric bypass group or the single-anastomosis laparoscopic gastric bypass (Mini gastric bypass) group and were also blinded to the surgeon until surgery. The method of randomization was concealed envelopes.
