NON-SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR A HEALTHIER YOU

Losing weight can be quite challenging, especially when it comes to keeping the weight off. Also, the journey is quite personal. What makes one person lose weight may not work for another person.

That is why in addition to a variety of options for surgical weight loss, there are medically sound, personalized non-surgical alternatives. The non-surgical procedures are non-invasive and take less recovery time than surgical choices. Your doctor will work with you to ensure that you reach your weight loss goals and guide you to make healthy lifestyle choices for the long term.

WHAT IS NON-SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS?

Non-surgical weight loss is a method of losing weight without undergoing surgery. This method helps you lose weight by living a healthy lifestyle. It involves changing how you view food, getting rid of unhealthy eating habits, and adopting a healthy way of life.

Thus, if you have 30 or 50 pounds to drop and exercise and diet are not working for you, explore one of these innovative non-surgical weight loss options.

TYPES OF NON-SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS PROCEDURES

You can shed a few pounds and possibly lower your risk of getting serious weight-related complications without surgery when you undergo any of the following techniques:

ENDOSCOPIC SLEEVE GASTROPLASTY (ESG)

ESG is a one-hour procedure that uses an endoscope to decrease the size of your tummy. During the procedure, your doctor will use an endoscope to close down your tummy from the bottom to the top. These closures will change your tummy’s structure, leaving it shaped like a sleeve or a banana. This restricts how much food you can take because you tend to feel satisfied faster. As a result, you learn to control your food portion.

ESG is ideal for a person whose BMI is 30 or more. It is also ideal for people who have not managed to lose weight through exercise and diet alone. Additionally, like any other weight loss program, ESG requires a long-term commitment to a healthy lifestyle. This is to ensure lifelong success and lasting weight loss.

In addition to helping you lose weight, ESG can also reduce your blood sugar levels and possibly address other serious health concerns around weight.

GASTRIC BALLOON

With the gastric balloon method, your doctor places a balloon inside your stomach using an endoscope. Once the balloon is safely inside your stomach, your doctor fills it with a germ-free saline solution and leaves the balloon inside your tummy. The goal is to make you feel full and naturally eat less food.

Gastric balloons are suitable for people who do not qualify for weight loss surgery. Also, if you have 20 to 60 pounds to lose, the procedure may be right for you. Similarly, your BMI should be 27 or more. Depending on the type of gastric balloon used, the balloon can stay in your tummy for six to 12 months. After 12 months, it is necessary to replace the balloon with a new one.
