Hi, I’m Dr. Alexander Shapsis. Welcome to this EndoSlim Clinic. I’m triple-board certified physician in internal medicine, gastroenterology, and obesity medicine. We offered a minimally invasive nonsurgical most pioneering FDA approved procedures and medical weight loss as well. We’ll be partnering up with you on your transformational journey to weight loss.

The Orbera and Spatz3 Intragastric balloons are designed to facilitate the weight loss process. The balloons take up space in your stomach, causing you to feel full faster by eating smaller meal portions and helping you stay full longer. Both balloons are placed and removed endoscopically. The Orbera balloon is placed and removed after a 6-month period, while the Spatz3 balloon has the advantage of being adjustable and is removed after an 8-month period. These endoscopic procedures are perfect for adults who have been struggling with obesity and have not been able to lose weight and keep it off. To receive an Orbera or Spatz3 balloon, you must follow a healthy diet and exercise plan. We will guide you through this process with our 12-month program for the best results.
Benefits:
EndoSlim, or Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), involves using an endoscope with an attached suturing device that facilitates the reduction of the stomach.
EndoSlim is a safe, non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure, meaning there is no surgery, cutting, or incisions involved. While you are sedated, the endoscopic device is introduced through the mouth into the stomach, allowing the suturing of the gastric walls into small accordion-like folds and decreasing the size of your stomach. As a result, this procedure limits the amount of food you can eat and helps to delay gastric emptying, allowing you to consume fewer calories and feel full faster for a longer period. For patients who had ESG or Bariatric surgery and later suffered weight regain, our ReSlim and TORe procedures are here to give you a safe and effective second chance in your weight loss battle using the EndoSlim technique without having to undergo another surgery.
