What is Gastric Injections?

Applying Botilinum toxin (Injections) to the stomach is a relatively new method of weight loss based on the injection of Botilinum toxin into certain areas of the stomach by the endoscopic method. In this method, the contraction of the stomach muscles is limited, the period of gastric emptying is delayed, and the patient is lost with appetite. Stomach Injections can actually be applied to anyone who wants to lose weight. This procedure is not an operation. Gastric Injections is mainly used to reduce wrinkles on the skin and its dangerous side effect is unknown. The process takes an average of 20 minutes. Patients are put to sleep with an anesthesiologist during the procedure. It is not necessary to stay in the hospital. After the procedure, 1-2 hours of observation is sufficient.

What is Obesity Surgery?

Currently, there are 5 types of obesity surgery that are generally applied in the world. To summarize briefly how these procedures will affect patients;

Gastric Sleeve Surgery - Feels less hungry and more satiated with less food.

Gastric Bypass - Food feels more full and less mineral is absorbed when eaten.

Duedonal Switch - Feels less hungry, more full with less food, and fewer calories and minerals are digested.

Gastric Band - Food feels more full when eaten.

Gastric Balloon - It feels more full when eating, but the balloon has to be removed after 6 months.

Patients generally begin to lose weight fast after all these procedures. However, semi-surgical methods such as gastric band and gastric balloon cause an average of 20% less weight loss at the end of the 6th month compared to other surgeries, and weight gain is more common after weight loss. Gastric bypass surgery and gastric sleeve surgery provide improvement in many chronic diseases such as diabetes and blood pressure as well as obesity. In order for these surgeries to be performed, the patient must have tried and failed most diet and exercise methods under the control of a dietician. The final decision in obesity surgeries should be made with the patient after a detailed examination of the doctor/surgeon.
