Why Choose Nonsurgical Weight Loss Over Traditional Surgery?

For good reasons, nonsurgical weight loss is changing the game. There are no cuts on the outside of your body or risks of infection, and you can heal in just a few days. The best part is that it’s not very expensive. It’s clear that more people will trust these safer options since about 280,000 Americans choose weight loss procedures each year and the number is growing by 4.2%.

Gastric Balloon

Gastric balloon weight loss is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves inserting a small, inflatable balloon into the stomach through an endoscopic procedure. A soft balloon filled with salt water helps control hunger. Patients lose about 15% of their weight in 6 to 12 months. It’s quick, safe, and costs less than $7,000. You usually lose about 2.2 pounds a week. Once inside the stomach, the balloon is filled with a mixture that includes gallic acid, a natural compound found in foods like grapes and red wine.

The balloon helps to create a feeling of fullness, making it easier for individuals to control their portion sizes and reduce their caloric intake. In addition to promoting weight loss, gallic acid has also been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a potentially beneficial addition to the weight loss process. Dr. Pesta may recommend this procedure to patients who are struggling to lose weight through traditional methods and are looking for a safe and effective alternative.

Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve

Endoscopic gastric sleeve weight loss, also known as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves reducing the size of the stomach using an endoscope. During the procedure, sutures are used to create a sleeve-shaped pouch in the stomach, limiting the amount of food that can be consumed and promoting weight loss.

This technique is often recommended for individuals who are obese and have been unsuccessful with traditional weight loss methods. The endoscopic gastric sleeve procedure is less invasive than traditional gastric sleeve surgery and typically has a shorter recovery time. Dr. Pesta may suggest this procedure to patients who are looking for a less drastic weight loss option while still achieving significant results.

There are no cuts or scars on the outside of the stomach after ESG. It costs less than $12,000 and takes about an hour. Most patients go home the same day. They usually lose up to 25% of their extra weight in a few years, and their diabetes and high blood pressure symptoms may get better.

Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss involves a comprehensive and individualized approach to weight management under the supervision of Dr. Pesta. This approach combines nutrition counseling, physical activity planning, behavior modification therapy, and, in some cases, the use of prescription medications to help patients achieve their weight loss goals. Medical weight loss programs are designed to address the underlying factors contributing to weight gain and provide patients with the tools and support needed to make lasting lifestyle changes.

Dr. Pesta may recommend medical weight loss for patients who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone or for individuals with obesity-related health conditions that may benefit from a medically supervised weight loss program. By addressing the medical, nutritional, and behavioral aspects of weight management, medical weight loss can help patients achieve sustainable weight loss and improve their overall health and well-being.

EMSCULPT NEO

is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technologies to simultaneously reduce fat and build muscle.

How It Works:

RF energy heats up fat cells, causing them to break down and be eliminated from the body.
HIFEM technology induces supramaximal muscle contractions, which stimulate muscle growth and improve muscle tone.

Benefits:

Reduces fat in targeted areas, such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms
Builds muscle mass and improves muscle definition
Non-invasive and requires no downtime
Can be used on multiple body areas simultaneously

Treatment Plan:

Typically consists of 4-6 treatments, 30 minutes each, scheduled 5-10 days apart
Results may be visible after the first treatment, with optimal results seen 2-3 months after the last treatment

Dr. Pesta’s expertise in nonsurgical weight loss procedures, combined with his commitment to personalized care, ensures that each patient receives a tailored treatment plan that delivers optimal results. His expertise at Physique by Pesta provides a nonsurgical weight loss solution to help individuals achieve their desired physique.

Physician-Supervised Medical Weight Loss Programs

These programs are customized for each patient. You will get a personalized meal plan, fitness guidance, and real behavioral support. Plus, your progress will be closely monitored by medical professionals. Studies show an average 5-year weight loss of 5.8%, with over 33% of them losing 10% or more. By focusing on the real cause and building healthy habits, these programs make lasting results possible.

Who Should Get Nonsurgical Weight Loss?

Weight loss treatments that aren’t invasive are a good fit for adults whose BMIs range between 30 and 40, especially if they are living with health issues like sleep apnea and diabetes. If you’ve made an effort to lose weight in other ways, and you haven’t changed your body the way that you want to, maybe it’s time to try something new.

Safety Profile and Minimal Downtime

Nonsurgical weight loss is very safe. ESG has only a 2% serious complication rate and no deaths reported. Experienced specialists perform these procedures without using scalpels and the like. Recovery is fast, so you can get back to your routine quickly while seeing impressive results.
