The use of Botox has expanded recently to include treating a variety of eye disorders and diseases, issues of the digestive system, urinary tract disorders, musculoskeletal system defects, skin diseases, and other diseases that are difficult to be treated with conventional methods. Moreover, several studies have lately evaluated benefits and effects of Stomach Botox in treating many diseases, such as Obesity that cannot be controlled only through exercise or by following a healthy diet.
Furthermore, several doctors in Norway, when conducting a study on Botox and its impact on weight, concluded that 70% of patients with obesity lost about 17% of their excess weight after been undergone stomach Botox procedure. 18 months later, the patients also had three additional Botox injections; 75% of them lost about 28 % of their excess weight. In addition, researchers claimed that Botox helps people lose weight due to its effects on nerve cells, controls feelings of hunger, and slows stomach or gastric emptying.
The surgeon starts stomach or gastric Botox procedure by locally anesthetizing the patient. Then, a microscope is inserted through the patient’s mouth into the stomach allowing Botox to be injected into the stomach through it. The amount of injected Botox in stomach varies from a patient to another according to patient’s weight and body mass. Moreover, the substance is injected into the appetite control center in the stomach, which reduces the secretion of Ghrelin hormone, which is responsible for stimulating the feel of hunger. Belly Botox procedure is typically performed within 20 to 30 minutes, and the effect of the injection lasts between 4 to 6 months. It is also possible for stomach Botox procedure to be re-performed after 6 months, depending on its results and the patient’s health condition.
After undergoing this simple procedure, the patient’s appetite will decrease significantly resulting in eating less quantities of food compared to those the patient used to eat previously due to the feel of satiety after eating. Additionally, stomach Botox increases the time the food digestion, so the patients feel full for a longer period of time. However, Botox for weight loss procedure has few side effects that fade away over time. For some certain cases, some medicines can also be taken to control them.
In brief, weight loss procedures and their surgical techniques vary, so patients with obesity need to discuss the most recommended procedure with a specialized doctor who can help them make their decision properly. The type of procedure is typically chosen according to the patient’s health condition in order to avoid any unpleasant complications and get the best results.
