Canada's first stomach corset procedure to help obesity, weight loss

"Five years ago, Morgan Ward went about as far as you can go to lose weight: bariatric surgery, essentially a procedure to reduce the volume of her stomach. It didn't take. Her stomach, stapled and banded to reduce its size, slowly began to stretch back to its old dimensions, and she began to re-gain some of the weight she lost. On Wednesday, Ward, 29, goes back into surgery to undergo a non-invasive procedure that's new to Canada: the endoluminal pouch reduction, essentially an interior corset. She'll become one of the first Canadians to undergo the procedure as part of a clinical trial to see if the new surgery can help obese patients who have regained their weight after traditional stomach-reducing surgery." - Star Phoenix
