Our nutrition and obesity unit, Minerva, is number one in obesity treatments and we provide the best weight loss treatments. What treatments allow to reduce the stomach? We will tell you!

Gastric endomanga

This is the new treatment, a stomach reduction without surgery with which the stomach remains like a gastric sleeve but without surgery.

Treatment consists of an oral endoscopy to decrease the stomach’s capacity. The gastric end-sleeve is a new technique that is based on performing 18 plications, all of them around the stomach. The end result is a gastric tube.

Endomanga is designed for patients with obesity problems who have a BMI between 35 and 40. Also for those who have a BMI greater than 40 but do not want to undergo surgery.

The results are the reduction of up to 30 kilograms at 6 months after treatment. And the most important thing is that patients begin to lose weight the day after the intervention.

What are the advantages of this stomach reduction treatment without surgery?

The gastric end-sleeve does not leave scars and is a minimally invasive treatment with a fast recovery. The most important advantage? Patients will notice a greater feeling of satiety from the first moment.

POSE method, stomach reduction without surgery

Like gastric endomanga, this non-surgical stomach reduction treatment is performed endoscopically and orally. However, instead of performing plications along the gastric body, folds are made in the different areas (upper and lower part of the stomach).

This treatment is designed for patients whose BMI is between 30 and 40. The results are a reduction of the stomach and a loss from the day after the treatment. You can lose up to 20 kg during the first 3 months.

What are the advantages of the POSE Method?

Gastric sleeve, stomach reduction with surgery

The gastric sleeve is done using a technique called laparoscopy. Unlike the gastric end-sleeve and the POSE method, this technique is surgical.

The technique consists of reducing the stomach by 80% giving it a gastric tube shape (like the gastric end-sleeve, but using another technique). The patient loses weight between the first 6 and 12 months.

What are the advantages of the gastric sleeve?

It is a minimally invasive surgery, patients have few pain after surgery. As in the other treatments, the weight is lost from the day after the surgical intervention.

Am I the right patient for this treatment? If your BMI is greater than 40 you are the right patient for this treatment.

The importance of a food reduction

After the stomach reduction treatments, they need the patient to receive a food reeducation so as not to regain the lost weight. That is why carrying out nutritional monitoring, guarantees that you will not regain the lost weight. With the perfect diet, you will not go hungry, but you will learn to eat in a healthier way and with less anxiety.

In addition, we accompany all our treatments with a nutritionist and a coach, meeting all the needs of our patients.

What are the recommended foods after a stomach reduction?

After a stomach reduction, depending on the treatment, he spends time on liquids. This is because the stomach has been greatly reduced.

After the liquids, patients begin to take puree, avoiding those that are heavy vegetables.

After this time, patients begin to introduce solid products little by little, progressively. This is where the greatest effort to lose weight begins as they begin a diet. Even so, patients will notice that they are less hungry thanks to the reduced stomach.
