StomaphyX - Gastric Bypass Revision
StomaphyX is an incision-free procedure that helps qualified gastric bypass patients get back on track with their weight loss.
Have you had a bariatric surgical procedure and the weight is starting to come back after all you've gone through? It does happen, and the ill effects on the health that come with being overweight or obese are just as likely to return with it. With a StomaphyX™ incisionless procedure, a correction can be made to your gastrointestinal tract with even shorter recovery than laparoscopic surgery.
Sometimes, after a gastric bypass surgery or other bariatric procedure, the stomach can stretch itself back to its original size. Often, without the proper diet regulation and exercise, it is just a matter of time. Patients who have lost considerable weight through stomach stapling or the LAP BAND suddenly regain the unhealthy weight they had previously lost. Obesity surgery does change and save lives, but it is not foolproof and adjustments are sometimes necessary. That's where StomaphyX™ comes in. StomaphyX™ incisionless gastrointestinal surgery uses endoscopic tools that require no cutting of the body and even less down time than laparoscopy. Vacuum suction pulls the stomach wall into aUsing a series of fasteners that cinch up the stomach walls, the maximum volume of the stomach decreases and caloric intake falls with it. The advantages of StomaphyX™ are as follows: No incisions Adjustable or revisable transorally to preserve future treatment possibilities Minimizes patient loss of time, even less that laparoscopic procedures Endoscope is flexible for atraumatic insertion
