Stomach Botox
The insertion of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the stomach is a modern method for reducing excess weight. It is administered endoscopically into specific areas of the stomach. This limits the contraction of the stomach muscles, slowing gastric emptying and reducing the patient’s appetite.
This is a fully endoscopic procedure performed through the mouth. The only minor discomfort the patient may experience is during the administration of anesthesia. The procedure is carried out on an empty stomach, and a mandatory gastroscopic examination is performed beforehand. Once the condition of the patient’s stomach has been thoroughly assessed, the Botox is injected into targeted areas.
The procedure typically takes between 15 and 20 minutes. Afterward, the patient wakes up and is usually discharged within one to two hours.
This procedure is recommended for patients who experience:
