Post gastric bypass surgery weight gain may result from enlargement of the stomach pouch. An enlarged stomach pouch will hold more food, allowing for the absorption of more calories, which may lead to weight gain. A physician may repair the pouch through a nonsurgical technique called stomaphyx. In this procedure, a doctor inserts a device into the stomach pouch through the mouth of the patient. The physician staples the sides of the stomach to reduce the size again. Less risk of infection is reported with this technique. It results in less pain and a shorter recovery time for the patient.
