Endoscopic Weight loss Treatments
Exclusive to Weight Doctors

Weight Doctors, Germany’s most experienced team for minimally invasive obesity treatments, is the market leader for endoscopic weight loss methods and the exclusive supplier for the revolutionary pose® procedure from the USA.

Do you want long term weight loss?
Maintaining your weight loss success has never been so easy.

Until recently, medical interventions to permanently reduce stomach volume have been associated with high risks, serious side effects and severe limitations in overall quality of life. With the development of the pose® (Primary Obesity Surgery Endoluminal) procedure, however, this perception is a thing of the past. Pose® is a solution that aims to achieve a high degree of effectiveness while being a low-impact medical intervention. Pose® is a so-called minimally invasive non-surgical method and is the only solution that enables a permanent reduction of stomach volume.

The unique thing about pose® is that the procedure impacts two important areas of the stomach to achieve effective, sustained weight loss: namely at the stomach entrance, and at the stomach exit – for a faster, and longer lasting feeling of fullness.

Up until recently, the procedure, which is based on a highly specialized, single-use endoscope created by the US manufacturer USGI Medical Inc., has only been offered in Spain, Austria and the United Arab Emirates. The Weight Doctors team has been successfully treating patients with the pose® procedure since 2017 and has been able to help hundreds of happy patients achieve their ideal weight with this innovative and complication-free method.

Experience really matters

Undergoing weight loss treatment is a big decision, often patients have considered it for years before taking the plunge. 

For a long time patients were presented only with surgical options for obesity. Whilst these options can be good, they are also invasive. Weight Doctors® recognised early on that a large potion of weight loss patients are generally healthy with a BMI lower than 50. A minimally invasive, yet powerful procedure suits these patients perfectly. 

Weight Doctors® were amongst the first European specialists to provide Endoscopic treatment for weight loss and have grown to be the largest with centres across UK, the Netherlands, South Africa, Germany and beyond. Not only that, Endoscopic treatment is our speciality and passion. 

Working with International experts such as Dr Devinder Bansi, Professor Karl Miller and Professor Jan Willem Greve soon saw Weight Doctors® at the cutting edge of endoscopic treatment and performing cases in high volume. 

Now the Weight Doctors SLEEVE® sits alongside traditional surgical weight loss methods, is approved for use within most national and medical guidelines worldwide including the U.S. and attracts around 10'000 patients each year. 

With all this said, the Weight Doctors SLEEVE® is an intricate procedure only to be performed by experts who carry out the procedure routinely and with an excellent clinical team. At Weight Doctors®, patients can be confident of this expert team, alongside excellent clinical facilities and industry leading aftercare.

If this is the case, we recommend taking a closer look at the possibilities of intragastric balloon treatment. The intragastric balloon is a non-surgical, endoscope-interventional method for the treatment of excess weight and obesity. In contrast to other procedures in the field of obesity surgery, the intragastric balloon is characterized by the fact that no scars or incisions are created during its application, nor remain after the treatment.

The intragastric balloon is inserted into the stomach via the esophagus during a simple gastroscopy, under semi-conscious sedation, and is then filled with a blue-coloured saline solution. Once the balloon is inserted, the stomach loses between 25-35% of its volume, therefore significantly reducing the volume of stomach available for food intake. This will cause our patients to eat smaller meals and remain fuller much longer.

Depending on the type of intragastric balloon chosen, it can remain in stomach for 6 to 12 months. It is removed again by means of a simple gastroscopy. If you are looking for a longer therapy duration, you may consider opting for an intragastric balloon with an adjustable volume. This has enabled patients to increase and maintain the effectiveness of the treatment over the balloon treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our non-surgical procedures are almost pain free and allow for quick recovery after the treatment. Being non-surgical they leave no incisions or scars. In most cases, you will be back home on the same day as your treatment.

Depending on the type of treatment chosen, the procedure usually takes 20 to 50 minutes. Your stay with Weight Doctors from admission to discharge on the day of your treatment is approximately 2.5 to 5 hours.

In almost all cases, we can undertake the procedure on an outpatient basis, i.e. without an overnight stay at our clinic. This means you can go home the same day and rest in your own bed. However, we also offer our patients the option of a short inpatient stay, which includes overnight accommodation in combination with medical supervision and professional infusion therapy. We’re happy to discuss possible options with you. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Our procedures are suitable for overweight or obese patients with a BMI of approximately 27 to 48. In rare cases it is also possible to deviate from this range to undertake this procedure, when it is medically feasible to do so. In any case, patients must be motivated to want to change their lifestyle and make a change in their habits in order to enhance the effectiveness of their therapy.

Individual weight loss results will depend on the specific endoscopic stomach reduction treatment chosen and can also vary from case to case. This depends on your individual health characteristics and overall commitment to a long-term change in diet and lifestyle. However, it is very realistic to lose between 15kg – 25kg of weight within 3 to 4 months with our minimally invasive methods. A significantly higher weight loss can be achieved with our longer-term therapies lasting more than 1 year, or in the case of our adjustable or permanent endoscopic stomach reductions.
