Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Curious if anyone else is participating in the TOGA study currently. We are in the beginning stages of getting ready for it and recruiting patients. Already today our research coordinator has called me update nutrition requirements for the study, even changing from the protocol I received 2 weeks ago. Just looking to see if anyone has some insight to the process or will be participating as well to communicate with.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 We are also participating in the TOGa study. TOGa stands for trans oral gastroplasty. It is a restrictive weight loss procedure that uses a non surgical method of stapling the stomach to create a small pouch. It utilizes a device that enters the stomach through the esophagus and eliminates any cutting or opening into the abdomen. The study is providing very general nutrition recommendations and I agree that they need to be updated and approved to better support patient outcomes. If you would like to discuss thoughts on this I think that would be great!
