New Gastric Mucosal Ablation Helps Patients Lose 60 Pounds
May 10, 2024, 06:45 PM
Recent studies and reports have highlighted a new weight loss procedure known as gastric mucosal ablation, which is gaining attention for its effectiveness and minimal invasiveness compared to traditional methods like gastric bypass. This procedure, also referred to as endoscopic mucosal ablation, involves burning part of the stomach lining to suppress the hunger hormone ghrelin, thereby curbing food cravings. It has been found to be more cost-effective and efficient in shedding pounds than diet drugs. Some patients have reported significant weight loss, with one individual losing 60 pounds following the treatment. The first human trial results were released recently, confirming the procedure's potential benefits.
