[Doctor Q 2]

I want to introduce a new procedure I invented; a Reversible Gastric Sleeve. Please see the attached video.

Interesting concept. Have you done many of these procedures yet and how long have you been doing them? How many people so far have taken up the option of reversing the procedure?

Is there a big market for this? Seems like a one-way trip to gaining back every ounce you lost and more. I guess some people like feeling like they have a "safety net" which is why the dangerous gastric balloon seems to keep sticking around.

I love innovation. It’s thinkers that get new procedures developed for patient success.

On your new idea:

Reversal seems like it would be very difficult. Stitching back all that stomach?

I don’t see hunger/ satiation changing. That leftover piece would still be demanding food?

Could you get blockage up into that leftover piece of stomach?

Other than reversal, are there any other benefits?
