Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Estophia Hospital offers three primary weight-loss interventions.

• Gastric Balloon: This is a non-surgical, endoscopic procedure. A balloon is placed in the stomach for six months to create a feeling of fullness. It is an outpatient treatment with same-day return to the hotel.
• Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy): This laparoscopic surgery permanently reduces stomach size. The operation takes 2-5 hours and requires a 2-3 day hospital stay. Recovery allows patients to fly home on the day of discharge.
• Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y): This laparoscopic procedure creates a small stomach pouch and bypasses part of the intestine. It is often recommended for patients with a very high BMI. The surgery lasts 4-5 hours with a 2-3 day hospital stay.
