Effect on Early Weight Loss by Adjusting Gastric Band During Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating EndoFLIP device (FDA Device Listing Number : D091203) for Obesity. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Subjects having a gastric band fitted will have the first band adjustment done at surgery. The stoma will be set to 7mm using the EndoFLIP system to measure stoma size. Thereafter, band adjustments will be made using an adjustment chart, created at surgery, which shows stoma size versus band fill, to make adjustments in the normal follow-up visits. It is hypothesized that an early adjustment at surgery will promote earlier weight loss, and result in fewer band adjustments being required in the first year after surgery.

Interventions
The EndoFLIP balloon catheter will be introduced to the band and used to permit the band stoma size to be adjusted to 7mm.
