A company called Satiety is getting clinical trials of it's experimental no abdominal incision method of weight loss surgery called TOGA, Transoral Gastroplasty. "The TOGA Procedure is performed without surgical incisions using a flexible device that is passed through the mouth and down to the stomach.

On average, those who have passed the one-year mark have lost about 40 percent of their excess weight. Only time will tell whether they will be able to avoid gaining it back". "There are older, well-established operations that produce more weight loss, and in the United States 200,000 people have them each year. Known as bariatric surgery, it is often done through slits".
