Endoscopic bariatric surgery
will encompass many procedures which aim to help in the weight loss.
Primary endoscopic weight loss methods offer an alternative choice for
the individuals who are considering a weight loss surgery for the first
time. Repair or revision surgeries are for those who have already
undergone bariatric surgery & are now struggling with weight regain
or other complications. Endoscopic bariatric surgery will be performed
with same type of device which is used for an endoscopy. A long,
flexible tube which will be inserted through the mouth & along the
oesophagus to reach the stomach.
