Stomach Botox

What is Stomach (Gastric) Botox?

Gastric Botox, which is applied as one of the weight loss methods, is the injection of Botox liquid into the stomach wall by using endoscopic needles orally. It is a non-surgical treatment method and no incision is required.
In this method, which is applied non-surgically, the patient's average weight loss is between 15% and 20%.
In this process, since the secretion of hunger hormone is suppressed, the patient's appetite decreases and the patient gets hungry later. At the same time, since this process limits the work of the stomach muscles of the patient, the rate of passage of food through the stomach decreases. In this process, since the rate of absorption of nutrients from the small intestines will slow down, problems such as sudden blood sugar rise and fall after meals can be prevented.

Sedation is applied during the procedure to make the person feel more comfortable.
Since it is a very safe method, it is especially preferred by people who do not want to have surgery. However, the amount of Botox to be applied to the patient varies from patient to patient.
The process is completed in an average of 15 minutes. The procedure does not cause any pain. After the patient is kept under observation for 1-2 hours, he/she is discharged when feeling well and can continue the normal life.

A few days after the procedure, the person's feeling of hunger decreases.
Within two weeks, the patient begins to lose weight. The patient continues to lose weight for an average of 4 to 6 months. At the end of 6 months, the effect period of Botox ends. If necessary, a new application can be planned after this process.
It is aimed to affect the smooth muscles during the application. The procedure has no known side effects. However, people with muscle disease may experience negative situations. For this reason, it is necessary to be incredibly careful and to conduct detailed examinations of the patient before the procedure.
