Obesity has become a global threat to public health worldwide. The prevalence of obesity has increased in all age groups, including children. With the rise in obesity, obesity-related diseases have become more common. Obesity poses a significant health risk, especially to cardiovascular health. Treating obesity is crucial for preventing obesity-related diseases.

Sleeve Gastrectomy:
Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a surgical procedure used to treat severe obesity. This surgery, also called “sleeve gastrectomy,” aims to control obesity and reduce the size of the stomach as a surgical solution to improve health issues related to obesity.

Gastric Botox:
Another method for weight loss is gastric Botox application. Gastric Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into specific areas of the stomach using an endoscopic method. The goal of gastric Botox treatment is to achieve a weight loss of about 15-20%. The procedure results in a decrease in hunger hormone levels, reduced acid release in the stomach, and slowed stomach activity. This leads to decreased appetite and delayed hunger, contributing to more stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
