New York, NY (1888PressRelease)
March 28, 2008 - Dr. Ajay Goyal of the New Jersey Bariatric Center is now offering the StomaphyX procedure for individuals who have had gastric bypass surgery and are now regaining weight. For those who are the right candidates, the procedure involves placing an endoscope through the mouth into the stomach pouch. The connection between the stomach pouch and small intestines is then sutured tighter resulting in slower emptying of the stomach, earlier satiety and more weight loss. The procedure also shrinks the stomach pouch, similar to the outcome of the original gastric bypass procedure. The StomaphyX procedure involves no incisions and minimal recovery time.
“StomaphyX is a minimal downtime procedure,” said Dr. Ajay Goyal. “The procedure is done trans-orally – meaning through the mouth- so there are no incisions and no visible scars. Most patients can return to work as early as the next day.”
Benefits of the StomaphyX procedure include:
• No abdominal or internal surgical incisions.
• Reduces size of the stomach.
• Preserves future treatment options
• Performed on an outpatient basis [in most cases]
• Faster recovery than open or laparoscopic procedures
• Essentially painless.
At the New Jersey Bariatric Center, StomaphyX procedure can give a second chance at weight loss to post-gastric bypass surgery patients. It can prevent hunger and help improve your chances for long-term weight loss success. To determine if the StomaphyX procedure is right for you, contact the New Jersey Bariatric Center to schedule a consultation.
