20 yrs post op...went for a scope yesterday with new Bariatric Dr...have gained back 70lbs in last 4yrs... 55yrs old...he told me I had ulcer...he could burn off part off my stomach so I could lose weight???... only if I quit smoking... Don't even remember talking to him with anaesthesia...this is hubby and nurse telling me...anyone heard of this???

Sounds like he would cauterize the area with the ulcer. Which would partially reduce the size of your stomach.

This procedure works. It’s a great tool. I meet goal weight over 15 years ago. Overtime I Gained 50 pounds back but lost 40 pounds after the endoscopy and cauterization. This along with behavior (emotional, psychological) modifications, lifestyle reset, and fitness basically I gave myself a wellness makeover. Totally reversed regain. It’s been a year and still going strong.
