Brief summary

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to use endoscopic band ligation for weight loss. All ligatures will be performed in the gastric body starting at the distal body; 5 parallel rows, with the last one in the proximal body.The entire procedure can be completed in 30 min. Oxygen is used for endoscopic air insufflation.Endoscopy is performed using propofol for sedation.

Detailed description

The idea of band ligation of the gastric body is to induce multiple gastric ulcers that forms a fibrotic scars which can lead to marginal narrowing of the lumen; same as that occurred in the esophagus following band ligation of esophageal varices or in the antrum following band ligation of GAVE.
