REVISIONS
Bariatric surgery can be highly effective for weight loss, but patients can eventually regain their weight. According to current research, more than one in five bariatric patients will eventually regain all of the weight lost with surgery.
Until now, a surgical revision was the only option to help get the weight off again. However, this is a very risky option for most patients. Due to this, surgeons are often hesitant to pursue a surgical revision.
With advanced technology available through endobariatrics, patients have the option of a safe, effective, same-day, non-surgical revision of their bariatric surgery. All performed endoscopically and without any incisions.
At True You, we offer sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass revisions to help you reach your goals.
About Sleeve
Revisions
Sleeve gastrectomy is the most common bariatric surgery. In this procedure, a surgeon staples the stomach to create a narrow, tube-like shape, reducing the size of the stomach and helping reduce calorie intake. Unfortunately, after several years, patients may find they can gradually eat larger portions, leading to weight gain.
With an endoscopic gastric sleeve revision, we can tighten the stretched sleeve from the inside using a series of safely placed sutures. The result is a shorter and tighter sleeve, which provides a restored sense of fullness and an opportunity to lose weight that has been regained. Because the procedure is performed entirely without incisions, the downtime—and risk—are minimal.
About Gastric
Bypass Revisions
Weight regain after gastric bypass is common due to many factors, including stretching of the surgically created pouch. The connection between the pouch and small intestine—known as the “outlet”—may also stretch out over time. The result is decreased calorie restriction and the ability to eat larger portions gradually.
With an endoscopic gastric bypass revision (also referred to as Transoral Outlet Reduction), we can restore the outlet and pouch to its original size or even smaller. This change results in long-term weight loss. This safe, same-day, incision-less procedure provides a new opportunity to lose weight and get back on track.
