WeightRegain Bariatric Surgeries

AspireAssist

AspireAssist is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves the use of a thin tube to drain a portion of food from the stomach after eating. This process, known as aspiration, is done about 20 to 30 minutes after the meal and helps to reduce the amount of calories absorbed by the body. The procedure is minimally invasive, reversible, and is performed under light sedation.

Success Rate: Studies have shown that patients can lose about 30% of their excess weight within the first year if they use the device correctly and maintain lifestyle modifications.
Recovery: The recovery time for AspireAssist is relatively short. Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two days following the procedure.

vBloc Therapy

vBloc Therapy, also known as vagal blocking therapy, is a weight loss treatment that uses a device to intermittently block nerve signals between the brain and stomach. The device is implanted under the skin in the chest, and it sends regular impulses to the vagus nerve, which helps to control hunger sensations. This procedure is less invasive than other bariatric surgeries and is reversible if necessary.

Success Rate: The success rate of vBloc Therapy varies, but research indicates that patients can expect to lose around 25-30% of their excess weight within the first year.
Recovery: Recovery time from vBloc Therapy is typically shorter than other types of bariatric surgeries. Most patients can return to normal activities within several days to a week.

Endoscopic Sleeve

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a newer type of weight-loss procedure. It reduces the size of your stomach using an endoscope and surgical sutures. This less invasive procedure doesn't require surgery, and it's typically done as an outpatient procedure.
