By: National Institute for Bariatric Repair Most bariatric procedures work by reducing the volume of food patients can consume, which leads to weight loss over time. However, when patients experience weight regain after their initial weight loss, a follow-up surgery may be needed. A second surgery can be distressing, and in some cases may not be an option. Repeat surgeries carry risks such as infection, bleeding, perforation, pain and other surgical complications. Comparably, non-surgical bariatric revisions performed at NIBR carry far fewer risks and are a great option for many bariatric patients. Endoscopic repair can correct many of the issues that cause weight gain after bariatric surgery by accessing the stomach through the mouth as opposed to traditional surgical methods, which enter the stomach through the abdomen. Using an endoscope and suturing equipment, the stomach is remodeled and restored back to its post-operative condition without having to make any external incisions. This may be an excellent choice for patients considering a band over bypass. About the National Institute for Bariatric Repair Dr. Sohail Shaikh has extensive training in advanced endoscopic procedures to treat bariatric complications as well as other complex gastrointestinal issues. He is highly skilled and has lectured and trained physicians across the US and abroad. He is the director of NIBR, an innovative multidisciplinary treatment center specializing in endoscopic procedures for cases that are traditionally treated with major or laparoscopic surgery.
