Endoscopic bariatric surgeries are less invasive weight-loss therapies administered via
the mouth using a flexible endoscope, so there are no exterior incisions. These
operations are for those who have obesity and have not lost a lot of weight by
changing their diet, exercising, or taking medication. They provide an
effective option for people who are ineligible for, or prefer to avoid,
standard bariatric surgery.
Endoscopic sleeve
gastroplasty (ESG) is among the most common endoscopic
weight-loss treatments. Sutures are put into the stomach to lower the size and
capacity. This helps patients feel full sooner, eat less, and lose weight
slowly and sustainably.” Other endoscopic procedures may involve placing
an intragastric balloon, which temporarily takes up room in the stomach to
increase satiety.
Endoscopic bariatric operations have a quicker recovery time, less risk related
to the procedure, less pain, and no visible scars. Most patients can
resume normal activities in a few days. These operations can also help address
illnesses connected to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood
pressure, sleep apnea, and metabolic syndrome.
Long-term success is
dependent on keeping healthy eating habits, frequent physical activity, and
continued medical follow-up. Endoscopic bariatric procedures provide an
important option for significant weight loss with less invasiveness than
traditional surgery.
