Endoscopic Procedures
Non-Surgical Weight Loss Solutions
Endoscopic Bariatrics provides a non-surgical pathway to weight loss for patients who do not meet the criteria for laparoscopic bariatric surgery or prefer to avoid surgical incisions. These procedures are performed under sedation using a specialized endoscope passed through the mouth — no cuts, no scars, and minimal downtime.
Baros Apollo offers two primary endoscopic options: the Intragastric Balloon, which occupies space in the stomach to create early satiety, and the Endoscopic Sleeve, which reduces stomach capacity endoscopically. Both options deliver clinically significant weight loss and can serve as a standalone treatment or a bridge to surgical intervention.
Endoscopic bariatric procedures are particularly valuable for patients who are high-risk surgical candidates, those with moderate obesity, or individuals seeking a less invasive first step in their weight loss journey. Recovery is rapid, with most patients resuming normal activities within days.
