LNPG Botox for Weight Loss in Dubai
What Is LNPG Botox for Weight Loss?
LNPG (Laparoscopic Non-Permanent Gastroparesis) Botox is an advanced minimally invasive procedure designed to support weight loss while treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in selected patients. It combines Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF) with precise laparoscopic gastric Botox injections to promote early satiety and reduced appetite.
This approach is particularly beneficial for overweight patients with hiatal hernia and reflux symptoms who are not ideal candidates for permanent bariatric surgery.
How Does LNPG Botox Work?
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF) repairs the hiatal defect and controls acid reflux by restoring normal anatomy.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is then injected laparoscopically into the stomach wall.
Botox temporarily slows gastric emptying, creating a feeling of fullness after smaller meals.
This results in reduced appetite, controlled portion sizes, and gradual weight loss.
The laparoscopic approach allows direct visualization, improving precision and safety compared to endoscopic injections.
