Gastric Botox injection is a process in which the stomach wall is injected from the inside with Botox, which is the substance known to be used to smooth facial wrinkles and to treat migraines, as this material relaxes, the facial muscles. And just the same way it works on the face muscles, it neutralizes the motor nerves and the smooth muscles of the stomach wall for a period that can extend up to 6 months, causing a relaxation in the stomach, which suppresses appetite, makes the feeling of satiety last longer and causes a decrease in the amount of food consumed, and by this mechanism it helps obesity patients lose weight.

During the procedure
The Gastric Botox procedure takes about 20 minutes approximately. The doctor sometimes begins sedating the throat area, to ensure the patient avoids any vomiting during the operation. No general anesthesia is required for this procedure; the patient remains conscious of his surroundings. Then inserting the endoscope into the stomach, the doctor begins to inject the Botox, which is found in the injection needle hanging at the end of the endoscope, in different areas located on the inner walls of the stomach, the injection is inserted into the muscles of the stomach wall in specific, non random proportions, making the bowel emptying process much slower. After injecting all the required amount of Botox into the designated places, the doctor takes the endoscope out. The patient can leave the hospital on the same day and return to his daily activities without any problems or worries.
After the procedure
Botox injection procedure does not need the patient to be under general anesthesia when performing the injection, and the patient does not need to stay overnight in the hospital, and they can resume their normal life and return to work immediately after the procedure. But at the same time you have to be careful on your diet, you need to obey your doctor’s instructions. The diet after prepared Botox has the same general rules as any healthy diet. On this diet, we recommend eating foods rich in protein, foods rich in fiber, and foods low in carbohydrates. In general, patients are advised to quit all types of refined sugar such as simple sugars, sweets, and chocolate. For many patients, this seems very difficult to do, but after the effect of Botox, which is “prolonged reduced appetite and satiety” this becomes an achievable goal.
