A special thanks to my patient for helping to spread awareness about the TORe and other bariatric endoscopy procedures. Still so many patients who come to me saying, "I wish I had known about this sooner!"
Many gastric bypass patients who regain weight are mystified, frustrated and plagued by feelings of failure. Bren, @UCLAHealth patient, shares her journey including how an endoscopic revision procedure (TORe) by @AdarshThakerMD helped jump start her weight loss to meet her goals.

Agreed! Was surprised to see the perfs until reading that both occurred when using the "against the scope" method of avulsing tissue when the snare couldn't snip through. Stalled resection can happen when too much tissue is grabbed. Takeaway point is: don't get too greedy.
@GIE_Journal @Stentingwoman @MSawhneyMD @tberzin important practice-changing study adding evidence for p CSP in the duodenum. Surprised to see intraprocedural perforations even with the CSP

Congratulations @therealharith and @MetabolicEndo on this fascinating data! Potentially paradigm-changing treatment for type 2 diabetes and obesity. It's an exciting time to be a therapeutic endoscopist! #BariatricEndoscopy #MetabolicEndoscopy
🧬🎉 Today, at #ASGCT2023, we presented groundbreaking preclinical results from our Rejuva® program, a gene tx platform for #T2D & obesity. The wonder of gene tx is that it opens the door to one-and-done treatments for diseases once thought to be chronic. @FractylHealth 1/8
