Endoscopic outlet and pouch repair
The Advanced Surgical Bariatrics of New Jersey now offers qualified patients an endoscopic procedure than will reduce the capacity of which food can enter the stomach. A small flexible endoscope and other specialized devices will allow for sutures to be properly placed through the endoscope. Similar to a standard endoscope, the scope and suturing devices are inserted through the mouth and into the stomach pouch. Once the sutures are placed around the outlet to reduce the diameter, they typically reduce the outlet from the size of a silver dollar to the size of a dime. Additional sutures in the stomach pouch may be placed to reduce more of its volume capacity if needed.

I'm so thankful for my experience
In prepping for any type of procedure, it definitely helps to have compassionate, friendly providers/staff to turn to. So far my experience with ASB has been wonderful. Dr Donaire is friendly and very thorough. I felt very comfortable discussing my personal health issues with him and look forward to moving forward with him as my provider. Alexandra B. has been fantastic. She is incredibly responsive and has been very thorough and helpful as well ensuring that I have all the information I need. I'm so thankful for my experience here so far and I'm looking forward to the future!
