A total of 300 U of BTX-A (Allergan Botox \u00ae1 vial 100 U) is diluted with 8 ml of 0.9% NaCl saline, and antrum (100 U to 8 spots), corpus (100 U to 8 spots) and fundus (100 U to 8 spots) regions were injected intramuscularly. Patients were given a 1200-calorie low-carb diet and followed for 6 months. \n\nResults: Gastric BTX application was applied to 13 patients with a mean age of 40.9\u00b15.2 (85% female), a mean body mass index(BMI) of 28.41\u00b11.4 kg\/m2 (26-31.6) and a mean excess weight of 10.1\u00b13.6 kg. As a result of the 6-month follow-up, only 4 patients (30.8%) were able to lose more than 50% of their excess weight (6-15 kg). 6 patients (46.2%) could not lose any weight. There was an average decrease of 3.3 kg in the weight comparison to the patients before and after BTX application (p=0.03). A mean decrease of BMI was detected 1.17 kg\/m2 (p=0.032). \n\nConclusion: It was concluded that the application of gastric BTX for weight loss does not provide effective results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5152\/tjg.2020.20076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,11]],"date-time":"2020-08-11T06:26:29Z","timestamp":1597127189000},"page":"66-69","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Gastric Botulinum Toxin-A Application for Weight Loss Therapy"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Ozan","family":"\u015een","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmet G\u00f6khan","family":"T\u00fcrk\u00e7apar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,15]]},"container-title":["Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.turkjgastroenterol.org\/index.php\/tjg\/article\/download\/3685\/3348","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]],"date-time":"2026-03-11T11:16:13Z","timestamp":1773227773000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.turkjgastroenterol.org\/index.php\/tjg\/article\/view\/3685"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,15]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,15]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5152\/tjg.2020.20076","relation":{},"ISSN":["2148-5607"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2148-5607","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,15]]}}}
