What is Gastric Botox?
Gastric Botox
Gastric Botox, also known as intragastric botulinum toxin injection, is a non-surgical procedure designed to aid weight loss by reducing hunger and slowing down gastric emptying. Here's an overview of what it involves and how it works:
Procedure
Endoscopic Injection: The procedure is performed using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera and a needle at the end. This tube is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach.
Botox Injection: Botulinum toxin (Botox) is injected into specific areas of the stomach wall, particularly the antrum, which is the lower part of the stomach that grinds food and regulates its passage into the small intestine.
Mechanism
Muscle Paralysis: Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the stomach muscles, reducing their activity. This paralysis leads to slower gastric emptying, meaning food stays in the stomach longer.
Reduced Appetite: By slowing gastric emptying and affecting stomach contractions, it is believed that patients feel fuller for a longer period, which can reduce overall food intake and help with weight loss.
Candidate Suitability
Ideal Candidates: Generally, candidates for gastric Botox are those who are mildly to moderately overweight and have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
Not for Everyone: It is not typically recommended for individuals with severe obesity or those who require significant weight loss, for whom more invasive bariatric procedures may be more effective.
