Core Tip Endoscopic bariatric therapies are an important adjunctive therapy for weight recurrence and dumping symptoms after metabolic and bariatric surgery. Our study aimed to understand how endoscopic bariatric therapies impact quality of life, weight bias internalization scores, and dumping symptoms as measured by the Sigstad scale. We found that quality of life improved across all scales that were measured, with the greatest improvement in emotional and physical healthy. There was also improvement in weight bias internalization scores and dumping symptoms. Patients also experience sustained weight-loss over the study period.
