What is Suture Resculpt
Endoscopic Revision?
Suture ReSculpt is an endoscopic revision procedure that helps restore or improve the results of a previous bariatric gastric sleeve or gastric bypass without undergoing an additional surgery. It can often help stop weight gain and restart your weight loss journey so you can reach your goals and look and feel your best.
How Is The Suture Resculpt Bariatric Revision Performed?
Suture ReSculpt uses endoscopic tools to access the areas that need correction so there are no incisions created or any need for a hospital stay. The entire procedure normally takes less than an hour to perform, and patients can go home the same day.
Which Bariatric Surgeries Can Be Revised with Suture Resculpt?
Suture ReSculpt can revise a gastric sleeve or gastric bypass if the original bariatric surgeries have become ineffective and are no longer promoting weight loss. The procedure usually takes under an hour and can correct issues that have stalled your weight loss progress and give you a second chance to reach your goals.
Gastric Sleeve Revision
The procedure uses a special endoscopic tool to strategically place sutures from inside your stomach using a specialized technique to stitch the stomach walls to one another, which will restore your stomach’s very limited capacity and help you with portion control once again.
This suturing technique is the same that is used during the Suture Sculpt endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty procedure and does not alter the blood or nerve supply of the stomach or negatively impact intestinal continuity.
Once the restriction is restored to your stomach, you will feel fuller faster, and you will eat fewer calories, which can lead to gradual but significant weight loss.
Gastric Bypass Revision
The Suture Resculpt revision of gastric bypass is performed using a special endoscopic procedure and without any incisions. While you are under anesthesia, a special tool called an endoscope is lowered down through your mouth and down your throat to gain access to your stomach. It has a tiny camera attached to it, and the whole procedure will be live streamed to a nearby screen in the operating room, so the doctor can work with complete precision.
Then a state-of-the-art suturing tool is used to tighten up areas that were treated during the first surgery and have loosened up. These areas may include the stomach pouch or the stoma (the connection between the stomach and the intestine), or sometimes both areas need correction. This will limit the amount of food that you can eat and that can travel through the pouch, keep you feeling full for longer, and restart your weight loss.
How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose with Suture Resculpt?
A retrospective review reported that most patients lose an average of 19% of their excess body weight within the first month after their revision and 48% of their excess weight after 12 months. Excess body weight is the number of pounds a person is carrying that exceeds their ideal body weight.
Results vary because everyone’s circumstances are different, with different starting weights, weight loss goals, etc., but most continue to lose weight steadily if they implement and consistently follow healthy lifestyle habits.
