- Obesity, along with its comorbidities, has become a significant public health concern worldwide. Bariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment modality; however, only 2% of patients with obesity undergo bariatric surgery. Endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies (EBMTs) are emerging alternatives to traditional bariatric surgery for patients who are not eligible for or do not prefer surgical treatment. EBMTs are generally categorized as space-occupying, gastric restrictive, aspiration, and small bowel therapies. We aimed to review various non-balloon and non-gastroplasty devices with available clinical data and discuss the possible mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety profile of these EMBTs.

- Obesity is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide, and its metabolic sequelae lead to a significant burden on healthcare resources. Options for the management of obesity include lifestyle modification, pharmacological treatment, surgery, and endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs). Among these, EBTs are more effective than diet and lifestyle modification and are less invasive than bariatric surgery. In recent years, there have been significant advances in technologies pertaining to EBTs. Of all the available EBTs, there is a significant amount of clinical experience and published data regarding intragastric balloons (IGBs) because of their comparatively long development period. Currently, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved three IGBs, including Orbera (Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, TX, USA), ReShape Duo (ReShape Medical, San Clemente, CA, USA), and Obalon (Obalon Therapeutics, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The aim of this review is to summarize the available literature on the efficacy of IGBs in weight loss and their impact on obesity-related metabolic diseases.

- Bariatric endoscopy is an emerging subspecialty for gastroenterologists encompassing a broad array of procedures including primary endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies and the treatment of complications of bariatric surgery. In addition, comprehensive
understanding of lifestyle intervention and pharmacotherapy are essential to successful outcomes. This review summarizes goals and steps of training for this emerging field.
