Obesity is a serious and chronic disease that has become a worldwide pandemic, and the statistics continue to get worse every year. Many people struggle to lose weight and require some type of medical intervention to help them succeed, which is why some turn to surgeries like gastric sleeve and gastric bypass. While surgery is often an effective option for long-term weight loss, most patients experience some weight regain after bariatric surgery. Within about five years after having bariatric surgery, many people regain some of their lost weight, which can happen for many reasons, and studies have shown about 25% of patients regain all of their lost weight within 10 years of their surgery. Historically, the only choice these patients had was to undergo another surgery to stop their weight gain, but today there are newer techniques that can reinstate the restrictive nature of the original gastric bypass or gastric sleeve without the need for surgery. The experts at Reveal Weight Loss offer the innovative, safe, and effective Endura Weight Loss endoscopic revision procedures in Livingston, NJ, to help you get your weight loss journey back on track.

What Is Bariatric Revision?

Bariatric revision surgery is an operation that is performed to restart weight loss after a previous bariatric surgery has become ineffective. It is common for patients to regain weight years after their initial surgery, and they often will look for other options for weight loss. Statistics show that about 9% of gastric sleeve patients and 12% of bypass patients choose to undergo a reoperation within 5 years to restart their weight loss. Undergoing an additional surgery can help people who were not satisfied with the results of their first surgery, who did not do well initially due to complications, or who failed to maintain their results and regained excess weight, but it often poses significant risk and involves a long recovery time. Reveal Weight Loss offers Endura Weight Loss endoscopic procedures that can help these individuals get their weight loss back on track without surgery, serious risks, or an extended recovery.

FAQs

What Are The Options For Endoscopic Bariatric Revision?
Reveal Weight Loss specializes in endoscopic revision therapies such as the Endura TORe procedure and Endura SIS procedure, which give patients a safer, minimally invasive, proven alternative to surgery. Both of these options limit the capacity of the stomach to help increase satiety so that you feel full faster and consume fewer calories. Following either of the procedures, you can expect to resume your normal daily activities within a few days and return to work within one to two days. The recovery time for endoscopic bariatric revision procedures is much shorter compared to weight loss revision surgery.
Gastric bypass revision – TORe procedure
Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe) is a minimally invasive and highly effective endoscopic bariatric revision procedure for patients who experienced weight regain after gastric bypass. Sometimes, several years after gastric bypass surgery, the gastric outlet (the opening between the gastric pouch and small intestine) gets stretched and becomes larger, which can result in weight regain. During the Endura TORe procedure, the doctor uses an endoscope, which is lowered down through the mouth to gain access to the stomach, and tightens the gastric outlet using sutures. The procedure takes less than an hour and is performed under anesthesia.
Gastric sleeve revision SIS procedure
Sleeve-in-Sleeve (SIS) is an endoscopic bariatric revision procedure for patients who had previously undergone sleeve gastrectomy surgery but gained the weight back or did not lose enough weight. One of the main reasons for weight regain after surgery is because the sleeve stretches and becomes larger, so it takes more food to fill it up and make you feel satisfied. The Endura SIS procedure is a plication treatment that reduces the size of the sleeve back to its immediate post-procedure state by using an endoscope instead of incisions to access the stomach and place several sutures in the sleeve. The Endura SIS procedure is performed under anesthesia and normally takes less than an hour to perform.
How much weight can you lose after a bariatric revision procedure?
Most patients will lose between 10% and 15% of their total body weight after an endoscopic revision. This is not as significant as the weight loss potential after the initial revision surgery, but it can stop weight gain and promote further weight loss. The amount of weight each individual can lose will depend on their starting weight, their current health, and the lifestyle changes they implement and follow, which would include eating a low-calorie, healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise.
What is recovery like after a bariatric revision procedure?
The procedure does not involve any incisions, so the recovery usually is fairly quick and complication-free. You may have mild throat discomfort due to the endoscopic procedure or abdominal discomfort that lasts just a few days. A special diet is required to allow your digestive system time to adjust that starts with clear liquids first and works its way up to solid foods.
Can Reveal Weight Loss help if another surgeon performed my original revision.
Undergoing a surgical revision is a more complicated procedure than the original surgery and is riskier, so many bariatric surgeons do not perform them. If you are gaining weight after having a gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery, a safer alternative to get your weight loss back on track is an endoscopic bariatric revision. Reveal Weight Loss can help stop your weight gain after bariatric surgery and get your weight loss back on track regardless of which surgeon performed your initial bariatric surgery. Dr. Sarkar and Dr. Shahid at Reveal Weight Loss are expert, advanced endoscopists who have extensive training in endoscopic bariatric procedures. They perform the Tore and SIS revisions for patients who have previously undergone gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery to help them lose and maintain a healthy weight.
