Surgical Options (both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted methods)
Nonsurgical Options (endoscopic methods)
Just like bariatric surgery, endobariatric procedures are tools to help achieve weight loss and improve overall health and require no abdominal incisions. These procedures are performed using an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a light, a camera, and tiny surgical instruments attached to access a person’s stomach and digestive tract via the mouth and throat. Types of endobariatric procedures include:
- Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
- Intragastric balloons (IGB)
- Endoscopic gastro jejunal outlet reduction (revisional procedure for gastric bypass patients)
The caring and compassionate medical team at the Methodist Dallas Weight Management Program is dedicated to offering the one-on-one support necessary to help you lose weight and gain health.
