What are the different types of Incision Free Bariatric Surgery?

Incision Free Bariatric Surgery is a technique and just refers to non invasive ways of helping people to lose weight. We have listed several popular Incision Free Bariatric Surgery types below.

Gastric Balloon Surgery

This is an incision free and removable way of losing a lot of weight and importantly training you and your body to eat less and more healthy once the Gastric Balloon is removed. Gastric Balloon Surgery involves placing a deflated balloon in the stomach via the mouth and throat and then inflating it in to a small balloon shape. It is removed after 6 months after which you should have lost a considerable amount of weight, are use to eating less and therefore keep losing weight even when the gastric balloon is gone.

StomaphyX

StomaphyX is mainly used on patients that have had Gastric Bypass Surgery but are still putting weight on. It is quite a similar procedure in that the surgeon reduces the size of the stomach to that of what it was like after Gastric Bypass Surgery. StomaphyX is non evasive and doesn’t involve cutting or creating incisions on the body.

Transoral ROSE

After Gastric Bypass Surgery, over 15 percent of patients put weight back on within a 5 year period. This is because the pouch created by the Gastric Bypass surgery stretches so Transoral ROSE effectively recreates the pouch in a similar way to StomaphyX but it is generally considered a more effective form of treatment.

Transoral Gastroplasty (Toga) Surgery

Transoral Gastroplasty is commonly referred to as TOGA and involves creating a sleeve in the stomach which reduces the amount you want to, and can, eat to aid weight loss for severely over weight and obese patients. It is a relatively new form of weight loss procedure that is reported to have had positive results.

Endoluminal sleeve (Endobarrier)

EndoBarrier Endoluminal Sleeve Surgery involves placing a lining on a top part of the small intestine. The Endoluminal Sleeve is removed after 3 months and it can be a good tool to facilitate weight loss on its own or as a precursor to Gastric Bypass Surgery. If you are particularly obese it is a lot safer to have surgery once you have lost some weight, hence its use as a lead in to Gastric Bypass Surgery.
