New Weight Loss Procedure Targets Hunger Hormone with Minimal Invasiveness

Endoscopic ablation shows promising results in reducing appetite and body weight by targeting ghrelin production in the stomach.

Clinical trials reveal endoscopic ablation can decrease body weight by up to 8% and cut ghrelin levels significantly.
Procedure involves a non-surgical technique that burns the stomach lining where the hunger hormone is produced.
Patients report reduced appetite and fewer cravings with minimal side effects such as nausea and cramping.
The procedure offers a potential alternative for those hesitant about traditional bariatric surgeries.
Further research and larger trials are necessary to confirm long-term efficacy and safety.
