BariClip

What Is the BariClip?

The BariClip is a new, minimally invasive weight loss device designed to help individuals struggling with obesity. It serves as an alternative to traditional bariatric surgeries like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, offering a non-permanent approach to weight loss.

By restricting food intake and promoting a sense of fullness with smaller meals, the BariClip can help patients achieve significant, sustainable weight loss—without cutting or removing any part of the stomach.

How Does the BariClip Work?

The BariClip is placed using a laparoscopic procedure (small incisions), where it acts like a clip or band, dividing the stomach into two sections:

🔹 A smaller upper pouch that holds food, limiting how much you can eat at once.
🔹 A larger lower section that remains connected to the digestive system.

This setup helps you feel full faster and stay satisfied longer, supporting gradual, effective weight loss. Unlike other bariatric procedures, the BariClip does not alter or remove stomach tissue, making it a less invasive option.

Who Can Benefit from the BariClip?

The BariClip may be a good choice for individuals who:

✅ Prefer a less invasive alternative to traditional bariatric surgery.
✅ Have struggled with weight loss despite diet, exercise, or non-surgical treatments.
✅ Do not qualify for or do not want more complex surgeries like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
