Even when patients do everything right, in rare cases, their gastric bypass may not work exactly as it was intended. Sometimes, they start gaining weight years afterward. Others start noticing discomfort in their stomachs. Luckily, Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics offers the safest, most effective non-surgical fix to the gastric bypass: endoscopic revision, best known as an Endo Revision, the only procedure of its kind!<\/p>\n
The gastric bypass<\/a> is one of the most well-known bariatric surgeries with an incredible track record. On average, patients who choose this procedure lose anywhere from 50% to 70% of their excess body weight. Additionally, they experience these positive results 12 years after surgery<\/strong>, according to a study published in Reuters<\/a>. All in all, most surgeries go off without a hitch, and patients usually don\u2019t experience a bypass \u201cfailure.\u201d<\/p>\n Unfortunately, under rare circumstances, patients might notice significant weight gain post-op, which could indicate a bypass failure. Factors that can decrease the effects of a bypass include:<\/p>\n Although these cases are infrequent, we want everyone to be able to achieve the weight loss they want and deserve. That\u2019s why we\u2019re introducing the first non-surgical way to repair a gastric bypass: Endo Revision.<\/p>\n Endoscopic revision, known as an Endo Revision, is a unique procedure that fixes the problems that can arise from a failed gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy without surgery. Like revisional bariatric surgery<\/a>, the surgeon tightens the stomach again after it has stretched or repairs any errors made from the initial procedure. This allows patients to return to eating smaller portions to lose excess weight while living healthy. However, unlike traditional revisional surgery, the Endo Revision is non-surgical. The surgeon inserts the endoscope through the patient\u2019s mouth to reach their stomach which eliminates the need for any incisions.<\/p>\n\n
