Unfortunately, these late complications may often go unnoticed and untreated. After bypass surgery, the gastric pouch can stretch out, or the outlet that connects the pouch to the intestine can expand (i.e. gastric pouch dilation and gastric outlet dilation). When this happens, the volume of food a patient can eat is greatly increased, and the feeling of fullness after small portions is diminished. Over time, this can lead to weight regain. While surgical repair is an option for these complications, most surgeons prefer not to re-operate because scar tissue and other factors make repeat surgical procedures more risky and difficult. NIBR uses advanced endoscopic techniques to repair and remodel the dilated gastric pouch or outlet internally (through the mouth).
