Summary

This trial looks at two ways to do the TORe procedure to help people who've had weight regain after gastric bypass regain weight. It will compare which is safer and more successful.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery but gained weight back. They must have a widened gastrojejunal connection seen on endoscopy and be getting standard obesity care at the study's GI Bariatric Endoscopy program.
What is being tested?
The trial compares two ways of doing the TORe procedure to see which one leads to more weight loss and is safer. Participants will randomly receive either c-TORe or E-TORe, with all other aspects of care being identical.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, procedures like TORe may cause sore throat, nausea, abdominal pain, bleeding, infection risk increase or complications related to anesthesia.
