At Transform Bariatrics and Aesthetics, the Endoscopic Sleeve Retightening Procedure provides a minimally invasive solution for patients who have experienced weight regain after an initial sleeve procedure. This innovative technique tightens and reduces the stomach pouch without surgery, helping patients regain control over appetite, portion sizes, and weight loss progress. With faster recovery and fewer risks than traditional revision surgery, it’s an ideal option for continuing your weight loss journey.
What Is the Endoscopic Sleeve Retightening Procedure?
The Endoscopic Sleeve Retightening Procedure is a non-surgical method to reinforce a previously performed gastric sleeve. Using an endoscope inserted through the mouth, the stomach pouch is reduced in size through internal suturing, restoring its restrictive function. By enhancing fullness signals and controlling appetite, this procedure supports renewed weight loss and improves long-term outcomes for patients who have regained weight.
How the Endoscopic Sleeve Retightening Procedure Works
- Uses an endoscope to access the stomach without external incisions.
- Places precise internal sutures to tighten and reduce the stomach pouch.
- Restores stomach restriction, slowing digestion and increasing satiety.
- Helps patients regain weight loss momentum when combined with lifestyle guidance.
