Non-Surgical Weight Loss Procedures

Are you tired of fad diets and quick fixes that just don’t work? You are not alone – millions around the world have been searching for reliable, lasting ways to shed those unwanted pounds. Luckily, advances in modern medicine have made it possible to explore a range of non-surgical weight loss procedures that could be just what you need.

Non-Surgical Weight Loss Procedures

Non-surgical weight loss procedures are becoming increasingly popular as people seek alternative ways to shed unwanted pounds.

These procedures typically involve treatments such as gastric banding, which involves placing a band around the stomach to reduce its size and limit the amount of food it can hold. Another popular option is the gastric balloon, which involves a balloon-like device being placed into the stomach and filled with a saline solution to reduce the amount of food a person can eat.

Endoscopic Gastric Balloon

The gastric balloon may be an option for adults whose BMI is between 30 and 40

Endoscopic gastric balloon (EGB) is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves the insertion of a balloon-like device into the stomach. The balloon is filled with saline solution, which takes up space in the stomach, making it harder for food to pass through and reducing the amount of food a person can consume.

The balloon is then left in place for six months, after which time it is removed with another endoscopic procedure.

The advantage of EGB over other non-surgical weight loss procedures is that it has been shown to induce significant weight loss, as well as reduce hunger and cravings.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty ( Gastric Sleeve Plication)

People with a BMI greater than 35 may be candidates for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty.

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves the use of an endoscopic device to reduce the size of the stomach and limit the amount of food it can hold.

During the procedure, an endoscope is inserted through an incision in the abdominal wall into the stomach area. Specialized suturing devices are then used to create an internal row of stitches, which reduces the stomach’s capacity. ESG has been found to be effective in inducing weight loss and reducing hunger cravings.

Swallowable Gastric Balloon ( Allurion Balloons)

Swallowable gastric balloons are a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves the insertion of a balloon-like device in the stomach via the mouth. The swallowable gastric balloon is filled with a special medical solution and left in place for 6 months or 12 months. During this time, the balloon takes up space in the stomach and limits the amount of food a person can consume, leading to weight loss. The advantage of this procedure is that there are no incisions made; instead the balloon is ingested orally prior to placement.

Gastric Botox (Stomach Botox)

Gastric botox is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves the injection of an FDA-approved form of botulinum toxin into the stomach. The toxin works by blocking nerve signals in the stomach, which can reduce hunger cravings and make it harder for food to pass through. The advantage of this technique is that it is relatively quick and non-invasive, with no incisions necessary.

AspireAssist Device

AspireAssist is a non-surgical weight loss procedure involving the placement of an endoscopic device in the stomach. The device consists of a tube that runs from the stomach to an exterior port located on the abdominal wall.

This tube allows users to pump out food using a handheld device after meals, with 30% of ingested calories removed in the process. This technique has been found to be effective in inducing weight loss, reducing hunger cravings and preventing overeating.

Vagal Blocking Therapy

Vagal blocking therapy is a non-surgical weight loss procedure involving the implantation of an electrical device in the abdomen that blocks signals from the vagus nerve, which is responsible for regulating hunger hormones. The device works by intermittently interrupting these nerve signals, leading to a reduction in hunger and cravings.

Non-Surgical Weight Loss vs. Surgical Options

Weight loss is a goal that many of us strive to achieve for the sake of our health and wellbeing. If you’ve been considering weight loss options, you’ve probably come across non-surgical and surgical methods. Both options have their merits and drawbacks, so it’s important to be informed before making a decision.

Surgical options such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy are more invasive, but they offer rapid results that can be life-changing for many individuals. Ultimately, the decision comes down to your individual needs and preferences, but it’s important to discuss all options with a healthcare professional and make an informed decision for the sake of your health.
