How Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery Can Help You Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals

Have you ever played a board game called “Operation”? In it, there are pieces you have to remove from a cut-out of a person without touching any of the sides. You win if you remove a piece without the board lighting up.

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a bit like that. An Ansh Obecure specialist uses a long, thin, flexible tube called an endoscope to explore inside your body through your mouth. They’ll guide it through your mouth or other openings and use its tiny camera to look around inside your body.

It’s kind of like having a tiny explorer on a mission to find out what’s going on without actually having to cut you open. And just like in the game, we will be very careful not to touch the sides or cause any damage.

What is Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery?

The endoscope is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach during the procedure. The surgeon then uses specialized instruments to create folds or sutures in the stomach tissue, effectively reducing its size. This can be done in a variety of ways, including placing a band around the stomach, using sutures to create a sleeve or pouch, or injecting a special material into the stomach to make it smaller.

The advantages of endoscopic weight loss procedures includes NO incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery time. Additionally, because the procedure noninvasive.

WHO WILL QUALIFY FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY

If you would prefer a nonsurgical weight loss method rather than traditional bariatric surgery, endoscopic suturing is for you.

However if you have had prior bariatric surgery and regained weight, you will need to mention it to our bariatric surgeons. If they decide that endoscopy surgery isn’t for you, they will give you more options for weight loss. However, surgical weight loss has proven to be an efficient way to help weight loss in patients. Patients who have regained weight may need to follow certain other steps to requalify.

It gives you some of the benefits of traditional weight loss surgeries – gastric bypass surgery, gastric balloon, roux-en-y gastric bypass, bypass or sleeve gastrectomy and. This includes significant improvement in blood pressure, hypertension, sleep apnea, liver, kidney, heart and so on. You can shed excess weight with this nearly nonsurgical weight-loss method.

How Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery Works

Endoscopic weight loss procedures work similarly to other weight loss techniques. There is lesser space in the stomach so you feel fuller faster. Plus, you can start all activities within a few days, including exercise, so you see a shift in total body weight. Your body mass index drops and you can expect major weight loss – long-term weight loss – that diet and exercise may not give.

Surgery may take you to a certain stage and procedures may help a lot but your attitude matters.

Conclusion

They don’t think that procedures that are less invasive can cause you to lose significant weight. If patient selected very specifically than there is a very good results of endoscopic procedures. Endoscopic procedures can not be done in all obese patients, there are certain limitations of these procedures that your doctors can guide very well.
