Abstract

Baraa Kamal Mohamed*, Juan S. Barajas Gamboa and John Rodriguez

Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial disease associated with multiple cardiometabolic conditions. The successful management of this condition includes a multidisciplinary approach with interventions focused on lifestyle modification, pharmaceutical therapies, and bariatric surgery.

Endoscopic Bariatric Therapies (EBT) has been proposed as a way to bridge the gap between medical management and bariatric surgery. The Association for Bariatric Endoscopy (ABE) in conjunction with the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) published the position statement approving and integrating EBT into practice. The aim of this article is to review the most common EBT’s, their indications, outcomes and complications.
