At Transform Bariatrics and Aesthetics, Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) offers a minimally invasive solution for weight loss. ESG reduces stomach size using an endoscopic suturing device, helping patients feel full faster and eat less. Unlike traditional bariatric surgery, it does not involve incisions, making recovery quicker and less invasive while still delivering significant weight loss results.
What Is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty?
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty is a non-surgical weight loss procedure performed through the mouth using an endoscope. The stomach is sutured to create a smaller sleeve-shaped pouch, which reduces stomach capacity and slows digestion. This helps patients consume smaller meals, control appetite, and achieve sustained weight loss while avoiding the risks and recovery time associated with traditional surgery.
How Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Works
- Uses an endoscope to place sutures inside the stomach without external incisions.
- Creates a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach pouch to limit food intake.
- Slows stomach emptying to prolong satiety and reduce hunger.
- Supports lasting weight loss when paired with diet and lifestyle changes.
