Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: surgery
patients will be submitted to biliopancreatic diversion or gastric bypass
biliopancreatic diversion consists of a distal gastrectomy with a long Roux-en-Y reconstruction, where the enteroenterostomy is placed 50 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve gastric bypass consists of creating a small proximal gastric pouch by division of the upper stomach, with reconstruction of the GI continuity by means of a Roux-en-Y loop
