Abstract:
Weight regain, also known as recurrent weight gain, is common following bariatric surgeries. While anti-obesity medications and surgical revisions offer effective treatment options, they are not without their challenges and limitations. Over the last few decades, there have been significant advancements in endoscopic interventions to address weight regain following bariatric surgery. These procedures have demonstrated feasibility, safety, efficacy, and durability, offering minimally invasive treatment options for this patient population.
