Summary
This study tested a new, non-surgical technique called Gastric Mucosal Ablation (GMA) to help people with obesity lose weight. The procedure uses a tool called HybridAPC to remove a thin layer of stomach tissue, which may affect hormones that control weight. Fifteen participants were treated and followed for 6 months to see how much weight they lost and if the procedure was safe.
