What is Stomach Botox?

Stomach Botox (gastric Botox) involves injecting botulinum toxin into the stomach muscles via endoscopy. This relaxes the stomach muscles, slowing digestion and increasing feelings of fullness—helping patients naturally eat less and lose weight without surgery.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Stomach Botox is a tool to support weight loss, not a magic solution. Combine with healthy eating and regular exercise for best results—use the appetite reduction window to build lasting habits.

⚠️ Insider Note: Effects last 4-6 months. Use this time to establish new eating patterns and portion control that you can maintain long-term, even after the Botox wears off.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can I lose?

Typically 10-15% of excess weight when combined with healthy lifestyle changes. Results depend significantly on your commitment to diet and exercise during the treatment period.

Is the procedure painful?

No—performed under sedation, so you're asleep during the quick endoscopy. There's no pain during or after. You may have mild sore throat from the scope for a day.

How soon will I notice reduced appetite?

Most patients notice changes within 1-2 weeks as the Botox takes full effect. You'll feel satisfied with smaller portions and experience less hunger between meals.

Are there side effects?

Minimal—possible temporary nausea and mild bloating for the first 1-2 days that resolve quickly. Sore throat from the endoscopy is common but brief. No serious side effects in most patients.

Who is a good candidate?

Those with BMI 27-35 who haven't succeeded with diet alone and are looking for a non-surgical option to help control appetite. You must be committed to making dietary changes during treatment.

Can I eat normally after?

Yes, but you'll naturally feel full faster and eat smaller portions. Most patients find they're satisfied with 30-50% less food. Listen to your body's fullness signals.

How often can I repeat treatment?

Every 4-6 months if desired. However, the goal is to use the initial treatment period to establish lasting healthy eating habits that persist even after effects wear off.

Is this better than gastric balloon?

Different approaches with different pros/cons. Stomach Botox is simpler—no device insertion, faster procedure, same-day recovery. Balloon may produce more weight loss but requires more commitment. Discuss options with your doctor.
