TORe Gastric Revision Procedure

[GeorgiaPeach48 5]

Good afternoon. I just joined the forum, and I was wondering if anyone has had the TORe procedure done? Thoughts? Weight loss after? I have an appt this coming Monday for a consult. I had gastric bypass 9 years ago and lost 110 lbs but never got to my goal weight, plus I've gained about 20 lbs since the bypass. I'm just trying to weigh my options before I commit to anything.

Thanks Amy

Never even heard of it. I had to google it. So basically its just suturing your pouch even smaller thru your mouth. I didnt even know there was a revision after bypass. Pretty interesting.

Hello and welcome. I have not heard of it either but would like to know more. Hopefully someone out there has had it done.

I had it done in March and am so pleased I feel great and am doing so well.

Oh good! How much have you lost? I am feeling a bit of the same regrets as I did with the rny.

How much have you lost since you had the procedure? Diet after the procedure? liquid? Soft foods?

I have lost 30 lbs so far I was on a liquid diet for a bout a week than went to soft foods. Now i am on a high Protein with little to no carbs. The weight is coming off slow now but I had lost 20 lbs before procedure.. I have gone from a size 24 snug to a 14/16 or extra large.. ALready taken off 2 of my diabetes meds and have had my blood pressure and thyroid meds cut back..

Wow, thats awesome! Keep up the good work! If you don’t mind me asking how much are you trying to lose? I wanna lose about 50 lbs. My consult is today at 4pm. Thank you so much for your input.

I'm down 8 pounds in 4 weeks. Slow and steady wins the race but I wish it was faster. Hoping to drop another 25.

[GeorgiaPeach48 5]

That’s great! Wishing you continued success.

Hi, how is everyone who had the TORé doing? I am going for a consultation next week. Have don’t all my labs and ekg.
I had a sleeve in 2012 and after regain am looking to loose about 50 pounds. I also am suffering with Gerd.

I had the TORe procedure done 6/15 and I weighed 201, and this morning I weighed 188. I feel great. I haven’t had any issues at all since surgery ( nausea & vomiting) and healing was rather quick. I felt like my normal self after a few weeks.

Awesome! Glad to hear this has been a smooth process. Did insurance give you and objectives? If you don’t mind me asking what insurance do you carry?

Stay well💖
