Endoscopic repair anyone?

[Patk 18]

I had a gastric bypass in 1982 with a lot of success and no problems. I lost over 100#. Unfortunately I gained my weight back most of it in the last 5 years. I'm looking into a new procedure that repairs enlarged gastric outlets plus decrease the pouch. Has anyone had this done? If so how did it go. Thank-you

I have a friend who is set to have the endoscopic procedure in July. We are in boston and there is only one surgeon who performs this procedure and her insurance has denied coverage bc they say the procedure is still experimental. She had rny about 13 yrs ago and had success but weight regain after two pregnancies. The dr explained that the outlet (stoma?) was significantly enlarged and food was just washing through leaving her always hungry.
