How your gastroenterologist in Arcadia, and Los Angeles, CA, can help you lose weight

Losing weight can be difficult, but maintaining a healthy weight is important for your overall health. Losing weight can help lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and help prevent joint stress. Your gastroenterologist can help you achieve your weight loss goals with minimally invasive treatment.

Our Arcadia and Los Angeles, CA based gastroenterologist Dr. Donald Portocarrero at Gastrointestinal & Non-Surgical Weight Loss Solutions, provides a wide range of gastroenterology and weight loss services, to help you lose weight.

Diet and exercise are critical to losing weight, but sometimes diet and exercise are not enough. Your gastroenterologist can help you lose weight quickly and safely, with a non-surgical procedure known as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. Here’s how it works:

An endoscope is used for the procedure. The endoscope is inserted into your throat and down to your stomach. Endoscopic sutures are placed in your stomach to reduce the size of your stomach. A smaller stomach can enable you to eat far less, and still feel full.

There are some major benefits to endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty when compared to other weight loss options. Consider that endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is:

• Minimally invasive
• Has less risk of complications
• Has a shorter recovery time

You are a great candidate for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty if you:

• Are significantly overweight or obese
• Have a body mass index of 30 or greater
• Have tried diet and exercise and are unable to lose weight
• Are committed to eating a healthy diet and regular exercise

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty can help you lose weight quickly and safely, so you can enjoy better health and feel great about yourself.
