Toga ‘Fat Loss’ Surgery Tests In New York.

TOGA Surgery is new procedure that involves gastroplasty using an endoscopic approach - what this means is some form surgical procedure is carried out in your stomach and the approach is through your mouth. Of course that’s good news as there will not be any surgical scars. This procedure is performed using the TOGA device which was developed by Satiety, Inc. out of Palo Alto, California.

However, this is a new surgical procedure which cannot be freely performed as yet and is currently awaiting approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. There is a lot of excitement surrounding the TOGA procedure. In simple terms, what this procedure involves, is to run a device through your mouth into the stomach where it effectively ’staples’ a section of your stomach to create a restrictive pouch that is intended to fill up as food enters the stomach. This will give the patients a feeling of fullness after a small meal and I suppose make them consume less food.

Dr. Davis, a surgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and co-investigator of the study being undertaken at the hospital was quoted as saying “The benefits of an endoscopic approach are less pain, quicker recovery, shortened hospital stay and decreased complications, as well as a lack of scarring,” He also went on to say “Eventually, TOGA may also be an option for patients who are unable or unwilling to undergo more invasive surgery.”
Although still under study in the US and awaiting FDA approval, pilot studies have been conducted in Mexico and Belgium where it was found that patients who underwent this procedure lost as much as 40% of their excess weight over 12 months.
