At Bariatric Guru in Los Angeles, we provide Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe), a cutting-edge, non-surgical weight loss procedure specifically designed for patients who have regained weight after gastric bypass surgery. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Sepehr Lalezari, our team offers this innovative treatment to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss and enhanced health.
A Specialized Solution for Weight Regain After Gastric Bypass
TORe is a targeted procedure aimed at reducing the size of the gastric pouch outlet for patients who have experienced weight regain following gastric bypass surgery. By decreasing the diameter of the outlet from the stomach to the small intestine, TORe slows the passage of food, promotes a sense of fullness, and assists patients in regaining control of their weight loss journey.
How is TORe Performed?
- Endoscopic Technique
The TORe procedure is performed using an endoscopic technique, meaning it is a minimally invasive approach that does not require any external incisions. This reduces the risks associated with surgery and promotes faster recovery.
- Suturing the Outlet
Using an endoscope, the surgeon sutures the outlet from the stomach to the small intestine, reducing its diameter and creating a smaller opening. This smaller opening slows the passage of food, helping patients feel full sooner and stay full longer.
- Promoting Satiety
By decreasing the size of the gastric pouch outlet, TORe helps patients achieve early satiety and prolonged fullness, which aids in reducing overall food intake and promoting weight loss.
Benefits of Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe)
- Targets Weight Regain
TORe is specifically designed for patients who have regained weight after gastric bypass surgery, addressing the unique challenges they face and providing a solution tailored to their needs.
- Minimally Invasive
As a non-surgical procedure, TORe involves less risk, reduced recovery time, and minimal discomfort compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Promotes Long-Term Success
By reducing the size of the gastric pouch outlet, TORe helps patients achieve and maintain long-term weight loss, contributing to improved overall health and quality of life.
Is TORe Right for You?
Ideal candidates for TORe include individuals who:
- Have regained weight after undergoing gastric bypass surgery.
- Are experiencing difficulties maintaining weight loss with diet and exercise alone.
- Seek a minimally invasive, non-surgical solution to help control their weight.
What to Expect During the TORe Procedure
- Sedation for Comfort
Patients will be sedated to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. This helps to minimize any discomfort and anxiety during the process.
- Endoscopic Suturing
The endoscope is inserted through the mouth and guided to the gastric pouch outlet, where the suturing device reduces the outlet’s diameter. This precise and controlled method ensures the effectiveness of the procedure.
- Short Procedure Time
The entire procedure typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and most patients can return home the same day, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
- Post-Procedure Care and Support
Following the TORe procedure, patients will receive comprehensive post-operative care, including dietary guidelines and follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address any concerns. The team at Bariatric Guru is dedicated to providing ongoing support to ensure the success of your weight loss journey.
