Question: Does insurance cover endobariatric procedures?
Answer:Not all insurance plans cover intragastric balloon and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty procedures. The AdventHealth Center for Interventional Endoscopy offers self-pay package prices to cover the cost when insurance is unavailable.

Question: Who is an ideal candidate for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and endoscopic balloon therapy?
Answer:We will evaluate you to determine if endoscopic weight loss procedures are right for you.
Candidates should meet the following criteria:
- Body mass index (BMI) of 27 to 35 with or without comorbidities
- BMI of 35 to 40 without comorbidities
- Patient does not want surgery and their BMI is less than 50
- Insurance exclusions for bariatric surgery
- Committed to lifelong lifestyle changes and attending regular follow-up appointments
Patients with a history of bariatric surgery who regain weight and seek revision procedures should ideally have a BMI of less than 50.
We offer transoral outlet and pouch reduction for patients with Roux-en-Y. We also offer sleeve-in-sleeve (SIS) for patients who have had a laparoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and have regained weight. These procedures are usually covered by insurance.
