Apollo Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery
Weight loss can feel overwhelming, especially when traditional methods like diet and exercise don’t yield the results you’re hoping for. Apollo Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery offers a less invasive alternative to traditional weight loss surgery.
What Is Apollo Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery?
Using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera), our skilled surgeons can perform procedures that reduce the size of your stomach or revise a previous gastric bypass, helping you achieve significant and lasting weight loss.
This advanced technique is performed through the mouth using a specialized endoscope.
It’s ideal for individuals looking to lose weight but prefer a procedure with fewer risks and quicker recovery.
What are the benefits?
- Quicker recovery time: This procedure allows you to return to your daily life faster, typically with minimal downtime. Many patients can resume normal activities within a few days, allowing them to focus on their goals without extended disruptions. Many patients can go home the same day.
- Long-term results: Apollo Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery is designed to help you achieve sustainable, long-term weight loss. By reducing the size of your stomach, you’ll naturally eat less, which leads to gradual, steady weight loss over time. With proper diet and lifestyle changes, you can experience lasting success.
- Lower risk of complications: Because this procedure is performed endoscopically, it carries a lower risk of complications compared to traditional bariatric surgery. This means peace of mind, knowing you’re opting for a safe and effective weight management method.
- Enhanced health and well-being: By achieving your weight loss goals, you can lower your risk of severe health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea. This procedure improves your appearance, overall health, and quality of life.
- Personalized care and support: You’ll receive personalized care throughout your journey at CHRISTUS Health. Our experienced team will guide you from pre-procedure planning to post-procedure support, ensuring you have the resources, education, and encouragement needed to stay on track.
