The study aims to investigate whether tailoring limb lengths based on the 1/3rd and 2/3rd concept improves clinical outcomes in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) surgery compared to conventional limb lengths. In this study, two groups were described, first group involves patients who will undergo Lap RYGB with conventional limb lengths of 75cms and 125cms, while the second group is given tailored limb lengths according to the total small bowel length. In the follow up period, Total percentage weight loss, improvement in BMI along with the remission of co-morbidities were also assessed.

The procedure involves creating a small gastric pouch from the upper portion of the stomach, which is then directly connected to the small bowel, in a roux- enY fashion with another jejune-jejunal anastamosis bypassing a large part of the stomach and the duodenum. This results in reduced food intake and decreased nutrient absorption. In this arm, standard limb lengths of 75cms BP limb and 125cms Alimentary limb were measured and performed, irrespective of the total bowel length

This results in reduced food intake and decreased nutrient absorption. In this arm, limb lengths are tailored according to the total small bowel length, 1/3rd of the total bowel length is measured and in that 3/8th and 5/8th were kept as BP limb and alimentary limb respectively.

Improvement in BMI
BMI is calculated by dividing Weight in kilogram by height in square meters. This is calculated at 3,6 and 12 month intervals and BMI is calculated at each point of time. Improvement in BMI when compared to the pre-operative BMI is calculated for both the groups and analysed.
