ABSTRACT:

Introduction

While most gastric bypass patients recover well, some experience long-term complications, including nausea, abdominal pain, food intolerance, and dumping. This study aimed to evaluate symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in association with the residual activity of the remnant stomach.

Methods

The Gastric Alimetry® System (Auckland, NZ) was employed, comprising a high-resolution electrode array, wearable reader, and validated symptom logging app. The protocol comprised 30-min fasting baseline, a 218-kCal meal stimulus, and 4-h of post-prandial recordings. Symptoms and QoL were evaluated using validated questionnaires. Remnant gastric electrophysiology evaluation included frequency, BMI-adj
