RESTORe Clinical Trial

Betsy C · 01-16-2008, 10:49 AM

I am new to this site, but not a new WLS graduate. I had surgery in May of 2003, got to goal in less than a year, stayed at goal for the next year, then began a slow regain over the last 2-1/2 years of about 40 lbs. I am seeking enrollment in a new clinical trial called Incisionless Treatment for Patients With Inadequate Weight Loss (or weight regain) Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. See Incisionless Treatment for Patients With Inadequate Weight Loss Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov for information about the study. To qualify, the stoma must be enlarged to 2cm or greater, and the BMI must be 30 or greater. I should know in the next week or so if I qualify. I will be having my procedure done (assuming I qualify) in Baltimore. There are 10 sites across the country currently enrolling for this study. Just curious if any others on this forum have heard of the procedure, are enrolled in the study, etc.
