Obesity

Endoscopy can be used in some people with significant obesity or complications from previous obesity surgery.

The Bioenterics (R) Intragastric Balloon is a safe, proven method for short-term weight loss, especially as part of a structured weight-loss plan.

Endoscopy can also be used to remove gastric bands that have eroded into the stomach. Endoscopy is also vital in assessing patients who have previously failed stapling operations.
