Available Weight Loss Procedures

• Gastric Balloon: This is a non-surgical option. An inflatable balloon is placed in the stomach endoscopically. It requires a 1-night hospital stay and typically helps lose 20-30% of excess weight within six months.
• Gastric Sleeve Surgery: This laparoscopic surgery removes part of the stomach. Patients stay about 4 nights. It can lead to 60-70% excess weight loss in a year.
• Gastric Bypass: This metabolic surgery reroutes the digestive system. It often leads to rapid weight loss and can help resolve type 2 diabetes. The hospital stay is 3-4 nights.
• Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG): This minimally invasive procedure uses suturing to shrink the stomach. It requires 1-2 nights in the hospital and aims for about 40% excess weight loss without external scars.
