Considering the value of technology and time, everyone is now aiming for a quick return to work, involving very little risk, and achieving perfect results. Of course, these requests also improve technology and indirectly the field of health. Now, we can achieve many results in a very short time, which we used to achieve by taking a lot of risks by performing very large surgeries and causing hospitalizations for days, today with very little or no surgical intervention, and with just as little risk.
What is stomach (gastric) botox?
As we mentioned above, the advancement of technology today makes our lives easier in many ways, as being able to handle most things remotely, especially staying inactive and eating high-calorie foods causes weight problems in people, almost as much as a pandemic. Of course, this problem must also be dealt with. Especially in the last 10-15 years, surgeries have become very popular in coping with the problem of excess weight, and even the most performed surgeries in most hospitals have started to take the lead. However, due to the risks of surgery, the sad events experienced due to this surgery, the very expensive operation, long hospitalization and the need for long-term home rest after discharge, loss of work force and post-operative weight gain, especially at a rate of 25-45%. this surgery has started to lose its popularity. Instead, it has been started to seek solutions that are simpler, less risky, cheaper and do not lose workforce.
Gastric botox, which meets all these requests, has started to become more and more popular today and offer much better solutions.
With the endoscopic method, we enter the stomach and inject Botox into certain areas. Thanks to the botox we make, the stomach shrinks and the release of appetite hormones decreases, so people eat less food and feel full quickly and their appetite is severely curtailed. In this way, it is very easy to lose weight. Everyone has always felt that I wish I did not eat even though I have a low appetite, or I wish I could eat a little something and be full. Stomach Botox weakens by doing exactly these two effects.
Who is gastric botox applied to?
In fact, stomach Botox can be applied to anyone, because there are basically two things that will weaken a person.
- Reduction of calorie intake
- Increased calorie expenditure
Botox helps the patient to reduce the calorie intake, that is, it keeps the person full, cuts their appetite, and thus provides a very good nutrition control. Thanks to this effect, it can be applied to anyone, whether 150 kg or 50 kg, to provide appetite and portion control. In this way, we can establish the diet of patients who are very overweight, morbidly obese, without the need to take the risks of surgery. In addition, another patient group is the group that does not have excess weight, which can even be done to these people. It is applied only to settle the diet, provide portion control and reduce appetite. In other words, stomach Botox can be applied to anyone who wants to control their appetite and adjust their diet.
In addition, there are many ways to lose weight, which is one more thing we want to talk about. You can have surgery, lose weight with a dietitian, gastric balloon, stomach botox are all methods that can weaken you. But the main problem is not to lose weight, but to prevent weight gain after losing weight. This is always the main problem with many overweight people. In this process, stomach Botox is a very effective method. Because the main goal here is to reduce your appetite by shrinking your stomach and thus to provide nutritional control. When the portions you eat get smaller in a period of 6 months, you can now make it a habit and thus permanent weight loss can be achieved.
How long does the effect last?
The effect of Botox usually lasts for 6 months, but this is also related to the diet. If he eats a lot and forces the effect despite being full, the effect is lost in 4 months. However, if the patient eats regularly and especially has a diet, the effect of botox is not even understood, the new diet becomes a habit.
Is stomach Botox procedure harmful?
Botox is the most risk-free method among surgical weight loss methods. Especially when we apply botox to the stomach, it only affects the stomach and does not interfere with the system. Therefore, we do not see any systemic side effects. Of course, all these depend on the experience of the person performing the procedure, the adequacy of the hospital where the procedure is performed, and the quality of the drugs and materials to be used in the procedure. That’s why I recommend doing enough research on these issues. Price should not be your only criterion when making the transaction.
What awaits me when I want to have a Botox procedure?
When you apply to the hospital for the procedure, you will first be admitted to your room and go to your room. Preliminary tests are performed for pre-procedure controls. These tests give results in about 30 minutes. Afterwards, you are processed and the procedure takes about 10 minutes. After the procedure, you wake up within 15-20 minutes and leave the hospital directly. So a total of 1-1.5 hours is enough for everything.
Is the stomach Botox procedure done by putting the patient to sleep?
In the past, endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures were performed with the patient awake and forcibly inserting a tube down the throat. Because giving anesthesia for this procedure was considered too risky. However, in today’s technology, there is absolutely no operation without sleep. An anesthesia is given with a lighter anesthesia than the surgical anesthesia we call sedation, but in a way that the patient does not feel anything. In this way, the Transaction is carried out in a very comfortable and very safe way.
Do I need to diet after stomach botox?
The main rule that applies not only to stomach botox but to all weight loss methods is “if you don’t fix your diet, it is inevitable to gain weight again even if you lose it.” Therefore, what actually makes you lose weight is the diet we are trying to develop. Stomach botox only helps you to establish this order. How it does this help especially shrinks and tightens your stomach, and thus allows you to be full quickly by eating less. In addition, by blocking the appetite center, it both suppresses your appetite and reduces your feeling of being wanted. Yes, you can’t lose weight without eating less, but stomach Botox solves the feeling of hunger and appetite increase, which breaks your resistance that demotivates you on the way to get used to this less eating pattern. In this way, you will lose weight very easily.
