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).

The time to half gastric emptying (T1/2) will be assessed via Gastric Emptying Breath Tests (GEBT) and Nuclear Scintigraphy of a Solid Meal (NSSM) at baseline, 2 months, and 6 months. This data will be collected from seven adult subjects, with obesity, who have recently received Endoscopic Bariatric and Metabolic Therapy.
