Sa1937 ENDOSCOPIC GASTRIC PLICATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF WEIGHT REGAIN FOLLOWING ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS

Comparison of roux-en-y gastric bypass techniques with and without distal gastric plication in patients with morbid obesity

Characterization of weight loss and weight regain mechanisms after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in rats.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most effective therapy for morbid obesity, but it has a approximately 20% failure rate. To test our hypothesis that outcome depends on differential modifications of several energy-related systems, we used our established RYGB model in Sprague-Dawley diet-induced obese (DIO) rats to determine mechanisms contributing to successful (RGYB-S) or failed (RYGB-F)...

Laparoscopic placement of non-adjustable silicone ring for weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is presently one of the most popular surgical procedures for obesity. One of the possible long-term problems is weight regain, usually after a period of successful weight loss. Weight regain after RYGBP can be due to new eating habits, like sweet-eating or grazing, or volume eating because of impaired restriction. This paper reports our experience in ...

Gastrojejunal stoma diameter predicts weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

BACKGROUND & AIMS Weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with reductions in health status and quality of life. We evaluated whether gastrojejunal stoma diameter is a risk factor for weight regain after RYGB. METHODS We examined data collected over 4 years from consecutive patients referred to a tertiary care bariatric center for upper endoscopy after RYGB. We used l...

Complications of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery is a method of treating morbid obesity, which has been raising more and more interest in the past years. Among all types of intervention, the most frequently used is Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, an intervention both restrictive and malabsorptive, which leads to best results in weight loss. In Romania, bariatric surgery, and especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is not...
