DUO Procedure
(Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty)
Your Minimally Invasive Weight-Loss Solution
Creator of the DUO procedure
Are you struggling to lose weight despite trying various diets and exercise routines?
If you're significantly overweight and haven't been eligible for other bariatric surgeries, our Duo Procedure, also known as Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, may be the ideal option for you.
How Does the Duo Procedure Work?
The Duo Procedure is a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach that involves suturing the stomach from the inside to reduce its size, much like a traditional gastric sleeve surgery. This results in a smaller stomach, making you feel fuller quicker and aiding in weight loss. Additionally, certain parts of the stomach are bypassed, leading to reduced calorie absorption by the body.
Advantages of the Duo Procedure
- Ideal for patients who don't qualify for other bariatric surgeries due to BMI, health issues, or abdominal scarring.
- Reduces the risk of weight-related health problems like GERD, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes.
- Limits hunger and facilitates safe, natural weight loss without rerouting intestines or requiring medical device implants.
Are You a Candidate for the Duo Procedure?
You may qualify for the Duo Procedure if:
- Your BMI is between 30 and 35.
- Non-surgical weight loss methods have been unsuccessful for you.
- You don't have gastrointestinal bleeding or a hiatal hernia larger than 3 centimeters.
- You haven't undergone stomach surgery.
- You are aware of the procedure's risks, side effects, and complications.
- You're committed to making necessary lifestyle changes and embracing a healthy, active lifestyle.
Preparing for the Duo Procedure
Before the procedure, adhere to the pre-procedure diet prescribed by your doctor. Avoid eating or drinking anything after midnight on the day of surgery to ensure a successful procedure.
Day of the procedure
Under general anesthesia, your doctor will perform the Duo Procedure using an endoscope and suturing device. After the procedure, you'll need to follow a liquid diet, gradually transitioning to semi-solids and then solid foods as recommended by your doctor.
