Thank youSummaryIn this episode of the Bariatric Surgery Success Podcast, Dr. Susan Mitchell and dietitian Catherine Page discuss the emerging field of endoscopic bariatric procedures, including endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). They explore the differences between traditional bariatric surgery and endoscopic options, the nutritional guidelines for patients before and after procedures, and the importance of managing hunger and weight loss expectations. The conversation also covers pain management, recovery processes, and key strategies for long-term success after these procedures.TakeawaysEndoscopic bariatric procedures are less invasive than traditional surgery.Patients can qualify for ESG with a lower BMI than traditional bariatric surgery.Nutritional guidelines are crucial for pre and post-operative care.Most patients can manage a six-week liquid diet successfully.Tracking food intake can significantly aid in weight loss success.Endoscopic procedures can reset hunger hormones, reducing appetite.Pain management is typically minimal with these procedures.Recovery time varies based on the type of procedure and individual circumstances.There are multiple options for patients, including revisions and intragastric balloons.Long-term success relies on mindful eating and regular physical activity.TitlesExploring Endoscopic Bariatric ProceduresThe Future of Weight Loss SurgerySound Bites"The requirements for surgery are much higher.""They have a special tool that goes in the throat.""These procedures are not reversible.""I have them start with a two week pre-op diet.""Track what you're taking in."Chapters00:00Introduction to Endoscopic Bariatric Procedures02:22Understanding Endoscopic vs. Traditional Bariatric Surgery10:44Nutritional Guidelines Pre and Post-Procedure18:29Managing Hunger and Weight Loss Expectations22:39Pain Management and Recovery Process25:18Keys to Long-Term Success After Procedures

Dr. Lisa Mathew interviews Dr. Raman Muthusamy, professor of clinical medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and medical director of endoscopy for UCLA Health, about a new clinical guideline for endoscopic eradication therapy to prevent the progression of Barrett's esophagus to esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is preventable if high-risk patients, such as those with Barrett's Esophagus, are treated with endoscopic eradication therapy to eliminate the Barrett's tissue. Endoscopic eradication therapy is highly effective, but the challenge is identifying the high-risk patients to treat and the low-risk patients for whom long-interval surveillance may be appropriate. Join Dr. Mathew and Dr. Muthusamy as they explore new technologies for identifying patients who are most at risk and the potential innovations that could stop a majority of Barrett's Esophagus patients from progressing to esophageal cancer.

Ask the Experts: Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery Really Gaining Acceptance in North America? Choll W. Kim, MD, PhD; Michael Y. Wang, MD; Meng Huang, MD; Timothy Wang, MD
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a novel, outpatient endoscopic approach to treat obesity. Without using permanent anatomical alterations, clinicians who incorporate ESG into their care suture the inside of the stomach as a way of reducing the stomach's volume down to the size of a banana, allowing patients to get full faster. In the continuum of weight loss therapies, including medication and surgery, ESG is a viable approach for patients looking for a minimally invasive approach to achieve their weight loss goals. Christopher Chapman, MD, is a gastroenterologist at RUSH University Medical Center whose expertise is in interventional and bariatric endoscopy, with a focus on providing patients minimally invasive approaches in their care. “Surgery is a very effective therapy, but is more invasive. Pharmacotherapy, at least before the introduction of GLP-1s, was minimally invasive, but also wasn't as effective [as surgery]. Endoscopy [such as ESG] is in the middle of being a little bit more invasive, but also more effective than medications.”
For Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Naresh Gunaratnam speaks with Dr. Srinadh Komanduri, associate chief of gastroenterology and hepatology and director of endoscopy at Northwestern Medicine, about efforts to educate the public about esophageal cancer and cutting-edge tools that are helping gastroenterologists determine which of their patients are at greatest risk of developing esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is preventable if high-risk patients, such as those with Barrett's Esophagus, are treated with endoscopic eradication therapy to eliminate the Barrett's tissue. Endoscopic eradication therapy is highly effective, but the challenge is identifying the high-risk patients to treat and the low-risk patients for whom long-interval surveillance may be appropriate. The Barrett's Esophagus surveillance program at Northwestern includes the TissueCypher test, which provides Dr. Komanduri and his colleagues with a personalized prediction of cancer progression risk based on molecular biomarkers that cannot be measured by traditional pathology. Join Dr. Gunaratnam and Dr. Komanduri to hear how gastroenterologists and pathologists can better identify patients who are most at-risk and provide the appropriate care to help prevent them from developing esophageal cancer.

Various surgical interventions exist for weight loss, but if apprehensive about traditional surgeries, alternative treatment procedures are available to support weight loss efforts. In this episode, Dr. Janese Laster, a quadruple board-certified in internal medicine, gastroenterology, obesity medicine, and nutrition, discusses two popular non-surgical weight loss alternatives for individuals hesitant about traditional surgery. These alternatives are the gastric balloon and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) procedures. The gastric balloon has shown a 10-12% total body weight loss in clinical trials, but in practice, outcomes are often more substantial, attributed to patient follow-up and education. Both procedures provide shorter recovery times and fewer side effects compared to traditional surgery. She emphasizes the need for ongoing support and lifestyle changes post-removal of these devices. Dr. Janese advises choosing a provider who emphasizes follow-up care, considering the emotional aspect of weight loss. She highlights potential symptoms for gastric balloon and ESG patients and encourages selecting a supportive team aligned with individual goals. Tune in now to gain a deeper understanding of these alternative weight loss solutions and discover the path to a healthier, happier you!
