Case Description

Case Summary

Obesity is a widespread health crisis with significant morbidity and mortality risks. Current treatment options include lifestyle changes, pharmacological therapies, endoscopic procedures, and bariatric surgery. However, surgery is expensive, has limitations, and poses risks, making endoscopic options attractive due to their lower cost, minimally invasive nature, and reversibility.
