Secondary Bariatric Endoscopy
These procedures are corrective therapies for patients who have had problems or have regained weight after Roux-en-Y bariatric surgery.
Because they are minimally invasive procedures, patients can continue working toward their weight loss and fitness goals without the potential complications and extended recovery times that can come with an open surgery. They are often covered by insurance plans and require a doctor’s referral.
