Endoscopic Weight Loss Procedures
Endoscopic weight loss procedures are non-surgical options for individuals struggling with obesity who have not found success with traditional diet and exercise programs. These techniques are performed through the mouth using an endoscope, eliminating the need for external incisions and reducing the risks associated with surgery.
Southwest Gastroenterology offers state-of-the-art endoscopic weight loss options, including intragastric balloon placement and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). These procedures work by reducing the stomach’s volume, which helps patients feel full sooner and supports portion control and calorie reduction.
Unlike bariatric surgery, endoscopic weight loss procedures are typically outpatient and involve minimal downtime. They are ideal for patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 40 who may not qualify for or prefer to avoid surgery.
Our team of specialists provides comprehensive support throughout your weight loss journey, including nutritional guidance and regular follow-up to ensure long-term success. We believe in empowering our patients to achieve sustainable, healthy lifestyles through personalized care.
