Endoscopic weight-loss procedures offer minimally invasive solutions for patients seeking effective weight reduction without traditional surgery. These procedures are performed through the mouth using flexible endoscopic instruments, avoiding external incisions and significantly reducing recovery time.

Endoscopic weight-loss techniques work by modifying stomach volume, delaying gastric emptying, or influencing appetite signaling. These interventions provide meaningful weight reduction while preserving normal gastrointestinal anatomy and function.

Candidates for endoscopic weight-loss procedures typically include individuals with mild to moderate obesity, patients not eligible for surgery, or those seeking an intermediate option between lifestyle programs and bariatric surgery. Endoscopic procedures are also increasingly used for weight regain following bariatric surgery.

Pre-procedure assessment includes evaluation of body mass index, metabolic health, eating behaviors, and previous weight-loss efforts. Careful patient selection ensures safety and effectiveness.

Endoscopic weight-loss procedures are performed under sedation in specialized endoscopy suites. Because there are no surgical incisions, recovery is faster, and hospital stays are shorter compared to surgical weight-loss procedures.

Post-procedure care includes nutritional guidance, behavioral counseling, and structured follow-up to support sustained weight loss. Long-term success depends on lifestyle adaptation and adherence to dietary recommendations.

Endoscopic weight-loss procedures provide a valuable option for patients seeking less invasive weight-loss solutions with measurable clinical benefit.
