Abstract
The weight regained has been a described growing problem in patients after bariatric surgery, especially at long term. This weight regained is multifactorial and often associated with dilation of Gastrojejunostomy (GJ), allowing a faster gastric emptying and therefore greater food intake [1,2]. For the patients with significant weight regain after failed conservative approach, some revisional procedures had be attempted and more recently endoscopic revisional procedures had being described [3,4].
