If you have been struggling with your weight and are seeking medical intervention that does not require surgery, there are some very effective options that might be just what you are looking for.
Reveal Weight Loss uses the Endura Weight Loss Solutions, a group of tools named by Boston Scientific, to perform safe and effective endoscopic weight loss procedures. These procedures help people lose weight by limiting the size of their stomach using a special tool that resembles a flexible tube with a camera, called an endoscope.
The Endura Weight Loss Solutions includes the Orbera gastric balloon, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), and bariatric revision procedures.
What Is Endura Weight Loss?
Endura is a set of non-surgical procedures that help people lose weight by changing the size and shape of their stomach. These procedures are done using a flexible scope that goes through your mouth, so there are no incisions, no scars, and much less downtime compared to traditional surgery. You go home the same day and can get back to your routine within just a few days.
At Reveal Weight Loss, we are proud to use the Endura Weight Loss technology to help our patients achieve sustainable weight loss and get better results with fewer risks.
How Does It Work?
Each of the procedures that make up the Endura Weight Loss Solutions is a little different, but they are all designed to help you eat less and make you feel full faster. Combining these procedures with a healthy, low-calorie diet can result in long-lasting weight loss. Some of the Endura procedures that we offer our patients include:
Endura ESG (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty)
ESG has been performed for over 10 years and has a proven track record for safety and results. This procedure reshapes your stomach using stitches that are administered from inside the stomach wall. It does not remove any part of the stomach, but makes your stomach smaller and slows down how fast food leaves your stomach. This helps you feel full with less food and stay full longer, making it easier for you to stick to a healthy diet plan and lose weight. Some of the biggest benefits include:
- No surgery and no incisions
- The procedure only takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
- You go home the same day, and no hospital stay is required.
- Most people recover in about 3 days.
- Most people lose 18–20% of their body weight.
The Reveal Weight Loss team delivers the highest quality results and the most comprehensive aftercare so you can successfully reach your weight loss goals and improve your health.
Endura Orbera (Gastric Balloon)
The Orbera balloon is one of the simplest and fastest Endura procedure options and usually only takes around 20 minutes. A special medical device that resembles a deflated balloon is temporarily placed into your stomach and then filled with a saline solution until it is about the size of a grapefruit. The balloon takes up a significant portion of the space in your stomach, so you eat less and feel full more quickly.
The balloon also helps you feel perpetually full, so you do not get hungry as often.
The Endura Orbera balloon remains in your stomach for six months, during which you follow a doctor-supervised program that helps you implement healthy lifestyle habits that promote weight loss. The idea is that the lifestyle changes you implement become permanent and help you maintain a healthy weight long term. The Orbera balloon can help you change your eating habits while giving your body a head start in losing weight. Some of the biggest benefits include:
- It does not require surgery.
- It offers a very short recovery time, and most people can return to work in a few days.
- No hospital stay is required, and you go home a couple of hours after the procedure.
- It helps you learn healthy lifestyle habits that help you lose and maintain a healthy weight.
- Most people lose 10–13% of their body weight.
Endura Revision (for Previous Weight Loss Surgery)
If you had weight loss surgery in the past but have regained weight, the Endura Weight Loss Revision procedure can give you a second chance at weight loss. During bariatric surgery, changes are made to your stomach, and sometimes your digestive system, that limit how much you can eat and help you feel full longer, so you can lose weight. Gradually, some of the alterations that were made during your gastric bypass or gastric sleeve can become ineffective. Sometimes, your stomach or the reduced opening to the small intestine can stretch out and allow more food to enter the digestive system at a quicker rate. An Endura Weight Loss revision procedure can significantly tighten these areas so you can resume your weight loss journey. The two revision procedures we perform at Reveal Weight Loss include:
- TORe (Transoral Outlet Reduction) for individuals who had a gastric bypass.
- SIS (Sleeve-in-Sleeve) for individuals who had a gastric sleeve procedure.
Both of these procedures use sutures to tighten up and repair the stretched-out areas to restore the restrictive benefits of your original surgery and give you a second chance at weight loss. The benefits of an Endura revision include:
- There is no need for another major surgery.
- Revising a previous bariatric surgery can help you lose up to 15% of your total weight.
- The procedure is safe, quick, and effective.
Who Is A Good Candidate For An Endura Weight Loss Procedure?
These procedures are beneficial for adults with a BMI between 30 and 50 who have tried diet and exercise but still struggle with their weight, and for individuals who have undergone a previous bariatric surgery and are experiencing weight gain. These procedures are perfect for people who do not desire or qualify for traditional weight loss surgery. Reveal Weight Loss can help you get back on track with an Endura Weight Loss procedure.
