You will have a full blood count and ultrasonography before the Gastric Injections. This is just to make a regular check on your abdomens and hemogram. The application takes only 15 minutes and performed under deep sedation. So you won’t feel anything.

The injection material is thinned by a special solution and injected into gastric muscles. This application paralyses the gastric muscles partly in order to slow the digestion down. So the patient feels less hunger and eats less.

You won’t need to stay at the hospital. You can go home when you feel alright after talking with our diet assistant, nutrition specialist who will tell you your new nutrition plan and give you your diet plans.

This totally depends on your metabolism and your adaptation to your new life and diet plan. Patients can lose between 6 to 20 kgs. The weightloss can not be forseen and calculated as certain as in surgical methods such as Gastric Sleeve or Gastric Bypass
