New Treatment for Failed Gastric Bypass
Synchrony Health is fortunate to have been chosen as one of the few centers in the United States to offer a new treatment for failed gastric bypass. Gastric bypass patients frequently regain some or all of their weight. This is due to dilation of the gastric pouch or stoma (the connection between the gastric pouch and the small intestine). In the past this was treated with risky, radical surgery performed through a large open abdominal incision. Some centers treat this by placing a gastric band around the failed pouch.
The new technology offered by Synchrony Health treats failed gastric bypass without surgery; instead, the procedure involves treating the dilated pouch or stoma from within using a cinching device to make the dilated pouch or stoma smaller. This is accomplished by a scope that is passed through the mouth – no incisions. To learn more contact Synchrony Health at 800-979-6573.
