Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty is a newer and more minimally invasive bariatric surgical procedure. In endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, a surgeon inserts a device called an endoscope into your stomach through your throat. Once the endoscope is inside your stomach, it precisely creates sutures that reduce the size of your stomach. This procedure effectively reduces your stomach capacity, making you feel full with smaller meals.
This procedure is considered a middle ground between medication and surgery. Gastric balloon surgery works by swallowing a capsule that contains a folded-up balloon. When the capsule dissolves in your stomach, a surgeon inflates the balloon to the size of a small orange. The inflated balloon decreases the amount of space in your stomach, forcing you to eat less. Typically, a surgeon removes a balloon after six months.
In vertical sleeve gastrectomy, a surgeon removes parts of the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch. This decreases the size of your stomach, which decreases your food intake. This procedure can reduce up to 70% of your weight. This procedure is ideal for patients with obesity or extreme obesity (with a BMI of 35-40 or more) or serious weight-related health conditions, including sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or Type 2 diabetes.
Roux en Y Gastric Bypass, also known as Gastric bypass surgery, involves surgically creating a small stomach and connecting this pouch directly to the small intestine. After surgery, swallowed food will go into this small pouch of the stomach and then directly into the small intestine. Therefore, the food bypasses most of your stomach, helping you lose weight.
