What You Need To Know About Non-Surgical Weight Loss

When you can’t lose weight, and you want to avoid invasive weight loss surgery, you can count on endoscopic bariatric procedures to help you lose excess weight, so you can live a healthier, more active life.

Endoscopic bariatric procedures use an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube. These procedures offer many important benefits when compared to conventional weight loss surgery. You will enjoy a treatment that is:

• Quick, with most procedures completed in just a few hours
• Much less invasive, using much smaller incisions
• Far easier to recover from, so you can get back to your active life
• Much less risk of infection, because you are not having invasive open surgery

Dr. Portocarrero offers several types of endoscopic weight loss procedures and can help you choose the right option to achieve optimal results. You can choose from:

• Gastric balloon, during which a silicone balloon is placed in your stomach and inflated, so you eat less food
• Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, during which stitches are placed inside your stomach to reduce stomach volume
