How Endoscopic Weight Loss Differs from Bariatric Surgery
Endobariatrics is a new option for weight loss that involves no surgery, no downtime, and is completely reversible.
Gastric Balloon
A saline filled balloon is inserted into the stomach cavity with the help of an endoscope. It fills the space and leaves less room for food.

Sleeve Gastroplasty

Gastric Bypass
The surgeon creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing most of the intestine. The food intake is less and nutrients are absorbed more quickly.
Gastric Sleeve
The surgeon removes 70-80% of the stomach and forms a “sleeve” from the remaining tissue. This helps patients to fill up with less food.
