TORe Procedure

[WarrenInEC 16]

Hi, all. I'm new here, but I'm scheduled for an endoscopic gastric bypass revision for early May. Looking forward to hearing from others who have had the procedure.

My RNY was in 2001 surgery weight 465, bottom weight 290. I have slowly regained almost half of that amount back over the past 23 years. I never really felt that the pouch or the anastomosis were made small enough. I was one of the very first RNY patients in our area and the technique was in its infancy at that time.

Did you ever have your procedure? If so, how did it go? I never knew there was a revision for the bypass. I had a revision from the sleeve to the bypass, so it's nice to know if I ever need another revision down the line, there's an option.

Yes, I had my TORE procedure on May 4. It went very smoothly, and the only way I knew I'd had surgery was that I had a very slight sore throat from the endoscope.

I haven't had any issues with vomiting, etc. and have lost 29 lbs.

The pouch was resized from 10cm to 8cm and the opening was resized from 54mm to 8 mm.

Hi Warren

I read that you had your procedure almost a year ago. How is it going? How much weight did you loose?

[WarrenInEC 16]

It is going very well. The TORE procedure combined with a glp1 medication has gotten me a 113 lbs. weight loss.

Wow that’s great! Are you still in the GLP 1 medication? If not, have you regained any weight?
