Summary

This study looked at a procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, which reduces stomach size using a flexible tube through the mouth, to help people with obesity lose weight. 75 adults who had trouble losing weight with diet and exercise alone took part. The main goal was to measure how much weight they lost over a year and check for any safety issues. Participants had to pay $9,000 out of pocket for the procedure.
