Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe) – A Non-Surgical Revision for Gastric Bypass Patients
For patients who have undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass but are experiencing weight regain or symptoms of dumping syndrome, Dr. Shapsis offers the Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe) procedure. Using the Apollo REVISE System, this advanced endoscopic technique reduces the size of the gastrojejunal outlet, helping to restore weight loss results and improve metabolic function. The overstitch suturing technique makes it possible to achieve these benefits without requiring another surgery, offering patients a safer and more effective second chance at weight loss.
Dr. Alexander Shapsis Answers Common Questions About TORe
If you’ve had a gastric bypass but started regaining weight, you’re not alone. Over time, the opening between your stomach and small intestine (gastrojejunal outlet) can stretch, making it easier to eat more and harder to keep the weight off. Dr. Alexander Shapsis offers a non-surgical fix called Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe) to help you get back on track.
1. What is the TORe procedure?
TORe is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that helps people who have regained weight after a gastric bypass. Using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera and suturing tool), Dr. Shapsis reduces the size of the outlet, making food stay in your stomach longer so you feel full faster.
2. How is TORe performed?
It’s done entirely through the mouth—no cuts, no scars. Dr. Shapsis inserts a small tube with a camera and a special suturing system to tighten the outlet. The whole thing usually takes less than an hour, and most people go home the same day.

3. How much weight can I lose with TORe?
Results vary, but most people see significant weight loss within the first few months. Studies show that patients can maintain their results for years when combined with healthy habits.
4. What’s the recovery like?
Recovery is pretty quick and easy. You’ll need to follow a liquid diet for a short time, then slowly reintroduce soft foods before returning to a regular diet. Most people take just a few days off work and feel back to normal fast.
5. Are there risks with TORe?
As with any procedure, there are some risks, but TORe is much safer than a traditional surgical revision. The most common issues are mild discomfort, nausea, or temporary changes in digestion. Serious complications like bleeding or infection are rare.
6. Will insurance cover TORe?
Insurance may cover TORe, but it depends on your plan. Dr. Shapsis’s team can help check your benefits and guide you through the process. Self-pay options are also available for those without coverage.
7. How do I know if I’m a good candidate?
