Abstract
A variety of endoscopic bariatric and metabolic treatments (EBMTs) have been developed in recent years to combat the growing prevalence of obesity in the United States (US) and worldwide. This manuscript reviews the current state of bariatric endoscopy, detailing all US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved EBMTs including space-occupying intragastric balloons (IGBs), aspiration therapy, and endoscopic tissue apposition devices. Additionally, this review describes non-FDA approved treatments including additional IGBs, endoluminal bypass liners, duodenal mucosal resurfacing, and endoscopically placed anastomosis devices.
