The StomaphyX device has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for transoral non-invasive tissue approximation (connection) and full-thickness plication (creation of folds) in the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It has been used frequently by bariatric surgeons to further reduce the volume of the small stomach pouch created by primary Bariatric procedures such as Roux-en-Y or Gastric Bypass procedures. Many patients experience weight regain due to the small stomach pouch stretching over time. The device is being studied in a prospective, randomized, sham controlled clinical study in order to collect data on this specific post bariatric / revisional use. Early investigator initiated, uncontrolled, clinical studies have demonstrated promising short term weight loss in selected, motivated patients.

Ayurvedic Terms Explained

Dosha: In Ayurvedic philosophy, the five elements combine in pairs to form three dynamic forces or interactions called doshas. It is also known as the governing principles as every living things in nature is characterized by the dosha.

Ayurvedic Facial: Purportedly, a "therapeutic skin care experience" that involves the use of "dosha-specific" products and a facial massage focusing on "marma points."

Ayurvedic Nutrition (Ayurvedic Diet): Nutritional phase of Ayurveda. It involves eating according to (a) one's "body type" and (b) the "season." The alleged activity of the doshas--three "bodily humors," "dynamic forces," or "spirits that possess"--determines one's "body type." In Ayurveda, "body types" number seven, eight, or ten, and "seasons" traditionally number six. Each two-month season corresponds to a dosha; for example, the two seasons that correspond to the dosha named "Pitta" (see "Raktamoksha") constitute the period of mid-March through mid-July. But some proponents enumerate three seasons: summer (when pitta predominates), autumn, and winter (the season of kapha); or Vata season (fall and winter), Kapha season (spring), and Pitta season (summer). According to Ayurvedic theory, one should lessen one's intake of foods that increase ("aggravate") the ascendant dosha.

StomaphyX procedure is now available for individuals who have had previous gastric bypass surgery and who are regaining weight. StomaphyX involves no incisions and no recovery and involves placing an endoscope through the mouth into the stomach pouch. The connection between the stomach pouch and small intestines is then sutured resulting in slower emptying of the stomach and earlier satiety and more weight loss.
