Summary

Total body weight loss (TBWL) after bariatric endoscopy (BE) is variable. Gastric emptying may be normal, rapid or delayed in patients with obesity and be a factor in variable BE outcomes. Gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA) reflects gastric pacemaker activity which controls gastric contractions. The non-invasive electrogastrogram(EGG) uses standard electrodes positioned on the abdominal surface to record GMA. The investigators postulate that GMA patterns recorded with EGG will reflect subgroups in regards to stomach electrical physiology in obesity and that these subgroups will be useful in selecting patients for various BE procedures to maximize success of the procedures.

ELECTROGASTROGRAPHY

Electrogastrography as a new tool to customize choice of Bariatric therapies by determining success or failure based on GMA and WLST results has not been studied. GMA measures the normal or depleted gastric ICCs and the WLST measures gastric capacity, objective measures that may be important to predict success of Bariatric procedures and thus to help with patient selection to maximize efficacy and minimize side effects.
