Transoral Outlet Reduction in Phoenix
A Second Chance at Weight Loss with Dignity Health Medical Group
Have you Regained Weight After Bariatric Surgery?
Transoral Outlet Reduction: Regain Control After Gastric Bypass
If you’ve experienced weight regain after gastric bypass surgery, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe) is a minimally invasive, endoscopic procedure designed specifically for patients like you, allowing you to get back on track without undergoing another major surgery.
What Is TORe?
Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe) is a non-surgical procedure that uses a flexible endoscope and suturing device to reduce the size of the gastric outlet (stoma) and stomach pouch, which may have stretched over time after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. By tightening these areas, TORe restores restriction, helping you feel full sooner and reducing calorie intake, ultimately leading to renewed weight loss.
Key Benefits of TORe
- Incisionless and minimally invasive
- Same-day procedure with a quick recovery
- No scars and minimal pain
- Helps restart weight loss after a gastric bypass
- Performed under general anesthesia for comfort
- Often covered by insurance; financing available
Who’s a Good Candidate?
TORe may be right for you if:
- You previously had gastric bypass surgery
- You’ve regained weight or stopped losing weight
- You’re struggling to control portion sizes or hunger
- You want a non-surgical, outpatient solution
What to Expect with TORe
- Procedure time: 60 minutes under general anesthesia
- Recovery: Light activity within 24-48 hours
- Diet: Liquid diet initially, progressing to solid foods gradually
- Support: Access to personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance from our bariatric care team
