Obesity Treatment Methods

Gastric Balloon

Gastric balloon is basically a non-surgical weight loss application that reduces the nutrient intake capacity of the stomach. The most basic fact to know about the surgery is that the gastric balloon is not an operation, that is, the application is one of the non-surgical weight loss methods. It is done endoscopically, not surgically, and is not as extensive as surgery. The main thing is to help the person lose weight and reach their ideal weight much more easily. The gastric balloon, also known as the slimming balloon, is a silicone balloon and provides a feeling of satiety with much less food.

Tube Stomach

Gastric sleeve surgery is performed by removing approximately 80 percent of the stomach. The remaining stomach is in the form of a tube-shaped sac resembling a banana. Surgery makes you feel full faster by reducing the amount of food that can fit in your stomach. Surgery has a major impact on gut hormones that affect various factors such as hunger, satiety, and blood sugar control.

Stomach Botox

Stomach Botox; It is the process of endoscopically injecting the hunger hormone into the determined areas of the stomach, including the fundus region, where the hunger hormone is released, with the classical botox method. Botox delays the emptying time of the stomach by limiting the contraction of the muscles in the area where it is injected. Keeping the stomach full for a long time will also balance the appetite problem.

Gastric Bypass

Gastric Bypass surgery, also called Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is performed in three stages. First, the surgeon staples your stomach to create a small pouch at the top. The stapler makes your stomach much smaller. Therefore, it causes you to eat less because you feel full faster. Next, the surgeon divides your small intestine in two and connects the lower part directly to the small stomach sac. Food bypasses most of your stomach and upper small intestine, allowing your body to absorb fewer calories. The surgeon then reconnects the upper part of the small intestine to a new location lower than the lower part of the small intestine. This displacement allows digestive juices from the stomach to flow from the bypassed part of the small intestine to the lower part of the small intestine. Therefore, the food is fully digestible. Because the bypass changes hormones, bacteria, and other substances in the gastrointestinal tract, the patient's appetite and metabolism may be affected. Gastric bypass is difficult to reverse, but a surgeon can do it if it's medically necessary.
