What is gastric botox?

The application of botulinum toxin (Botox) to the stomach is a relatively new method of weight loss based on endoscopic injection of botulinum toxin into specific areas of the stomach. In this method, the gastric emptying time is delayed by limiting the contraction of the stomach muscles, and this leads to loss of appetite. Weight reduction is thus achieved.

Who is suitable for gastric botox application?

Botox for the stomach can actually be applied in any person who wants to lose weight. However, there are certain criteria for patients in whom gastric Botox can be administered:

  • It is suitable for those who cannot lose weight properly with diet and sport.
  • Gastric Botox is not recommended for patients with a body mass index over 40 and who can only achieve success with surgery. The body mass index of patients to be treated with gastric botox should be below 40. In other words, it is applied to individuals who cannot lose weight with diet and exercise, whose body mass index is between 27-35 and who have more than 10-20 kg of excess weight. Patients who are overweight but not obese enough to have surgery and want to lose weight make up the ideal patient group.
  • In patients with gastric ulcer or gastritis, appropriate treatment of these diseases can be performed first and then gastric botox can be administered.

Are there side effects of gastric botox?

Botox has been used in medicine for years and there is no known harm if administered in the correct dosage by an experienced professional. The procedure is not suitable for those who have muscle diseases and are allergic to Botox.

Does gastric botox guarantee weight loss?

No method, including gastric botox, guarantees weight loss. It is wrong to look at gastric botox as a miracle solution. Although gastric Botox is known to reduce appetite and aid diet, there is also the possibility of failure in patients who eat a high carbohydrate diet after a Botox procedure.

How long does the gastric botox procedure take, is hospitalization necessary?

Botox of the stomach is not a surgical intervention. It is a procedure that is performed completely endoscopically. There is no incision. The process takes an average of 20 minutes. During the procedure, the patient is under anesthesia. Hospitalization is not required. Usually, 1-2 hours of observation is sufficient after the procedure. Appetite reduction and appetite control are provided within approximately 3 days after the procedure.

Does gastric botox cause stomach damage?

It is known that the preparation used in gastric botox is completely deleted from the body within 4-6 months. Therefore, there is no possibility of permanent damage.

When does the effect of gastric botox begin?

The feeling of hunger decreases within 2-3 days after application of gastric botox. Weight loss begins to appear after 2 weeks. The target 10-20 kg is lost.
Gastric botox is only applied to the smooth muscles of the stomach, it has no effect on nerve cells and bowel movements. Therefore, it does not increase the laziness of the bowel. A special diet is prepared for the patient to stimulate the work of the digestive tract.

What is expected from the gastric botox procedure?

Patients are expected to lose 10-15% of their total weight over a period of 3-6 months. The amount of weight lost may vary from person to person depending on age, metabolic rate, and frequency of exercise.

What should be the nutrition after gastric botox?

After the Botox procedure, attention should be paid to nutrition. Foods containing excess fat and carbohydrates, such as fast food, should not be taken. Maximum benefit can be obtained from the Botox procedure by adapting the patient to a healthy diet program as much as possible.

What should be considered after gastric botox?

Botox patients get hungrier more slowly, eat smaller portions and feel full faster.
Can gastric botox be repeated?
The patient can reach the desired ideal weight within 6-8 months after gastric Botox administration. Patients who have lost a certain amount of weight in this period but want to continue losing weight may resort to a repeat application of gastric botox.
