Understanding Endoscopic Weight Loss: A Comprehensive Guide

Endoscopic weight loss is a minimally invasive solution designed to assist individuals who struggle to lose weight through traditional methods such as diet and exercise. For those with a high body mass index (BMI) and significant weight loss goals, endoscopic procedures offer effective alternatives.

Endoscopic Weight Loss Solutions Available at EndoSlim Clinic FL


Also known as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, this FDA-approved treatment uses a specialized device with a camera inserted through the mouth to access the stomach. Using advanced tools, the stomach lining is sutured to reduce its size by up to 80%. This leads to faster satiety, aiding in significant and sustained weight loss.

EndoReSlim Procedure


Over time, patients who have undergone gastric sleeve surgery may experience stomach stretching, reducing the procedure’s effectiveness. EndoReSlim tightens the stomach, shrinking the area and helping patients regain control over their weight loss.

The procedure involves the use of an endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera, which is inserted through the mouth into the stomach. Using specialized tools, the physician sutures the stomach to create a smaller, tube-like shape. This alteration reduces the stomach’s capacity, limiting the amount of food it can hold and promoting a feeling of fullness with less food intake.

Ideal Candidates

EndoReSlim is suitable for individuals with a BMI in the overweight or obese range who have not achieved desired results through diet and exercise alone. It is also an option for those who prefer a less invasive approach compared to traditional weight-loss surgeries.

TORe (Transoral Outlet Reduction)


This treatment targets patients who have had bypass surgery and later experience stretching or loosening of the stomach-to-intestine connection. TORe restores this area, helping patients once again achieve their weight loss goals.

Gastric Balloon Procedures (Orbera and Spatz 3)

Gastric balloon procedures, such as Orbera and Spatz 3, offer non-surgical weight loss solutions for individuals with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) who face challenges in losing weight through traditional methods. These minimally invasive procedures involve placing a balloon in the stomach, which is then filled with saline to reduce the stomach’s capacity, helping patients feel full with less food intake.

Orbera Gastric Balloon

  • Non-Adjustable Design: Orbera is a single, non-adjustable balloon that is inserted endoscopically into the stomach. Once in place, it is filled with saline to occupy space in the stomach.
  • Duration: The balloon remains in the stomach for six months, during which patients follow a supervised diet and exercise program to maximize weight loss.
  • Removal: After six months, the balloon is removed, allowing patients to continue their weight loss journey with the new eating habits they’ve developed.

  • Extended Duration: Spatz 3 remains in the stomach for up to eight months, offering a longer period for weight management compared to Orbera.
  • Customized Approach: The adjustability allows for personalized treatment, accommodating individual needs and responses to the balloon, which can improve overall results and patient satisfaction.
