Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare a less invasive breath test against the current standard for assessing gastric (stomach) emptying. The current standard of care is a procedure called Nuclear Scintigraphy of a Solid Meal (NSSM). This study will compare this method to a Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change of T1/2
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months
The aim of this study is to compare baseline, early post-procedural (2 month), and delayed post-procedural (6 month) T1/2, as assessed by both GEBT and NSSM, in seven adult subjects with obesity who have underwent an EGRWL procedure.
