Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (Non-Surgical Weight Loss)
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a non-surgical endoscopic weight loss procedure. A specialized suturing device inserted through the mouth reduces the capacity of the stomach without an outer incision. Results vary from person to person and depend on diet and lifestyle changes. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and risks with you.
In short: ESG (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty) is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that reduces stomach volume using internal sutures placed through the mouth. It requires no outer incisions, and recovery is usually quicker than after surgical bariatric procedures, though results vary.
When to seek help immediately:
- BMI over 30 with weight-related health risks
- Pre-diabetes or uncontrolled hypertension due to weight
- Sleep apnea affecting your daily energy and safety
- Joint pain making exercise or daily movement difficult
- Struggling to maintain weight loss via diet alone
