Abstract :

Endoscopic Gastric botox is a procedure that speeds up weight loss by using botox to temporarily relax the muscles of the stomach. Botox will cause gastric motility to slow down making the person feel full more quickly and for longer than usual, reducing the overall amount of food consumption. Our data of 85 patients between December 2013 and March 2015 shows that this procedure is safe and most successful in obese patients with lower body mass index between 28 and 35.
