StomaphyX

This revolutionary procedure is now available at South Florida weight Loss Surgery Center for individuals who have had previous gastric bypass surgery and who are regaining weight. This procedure involves no incisions and short recovery time and involves placing an endoscope through the mouth into the stomach pouch. The connection between the stomach pouch and small intestines is then sutured resulting in slower emptying of the stomach and earlier satiety and more weight loss. The procedure also shrinks the stomach pouch and makes it small, similar to the outcome of the original gastric bypass procedure. Benefits of the StomaphyX procedure include:

• No need for abdominal or internal surgical incisions.
• Enables the surgeon to reduce the size of the stomach.
• Preserves future treatment options.
• Is performed on an outpatient basis.
• Essentially painless.
• Faster recovery than with open or laparaoscopic procedures.
• Provides for unique procedures for different anatomies
• Adjustable and/or revisable
