Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to support long-term weight loss. Using an endoscope inserted through the mouth, the stomach is sutured from the inside to reduce its size, limiting food intake and increasing satiety.
Unlike surgical sleeve gastrectomy, ESG does not involve removing any part of the stomach. This approach reduces the risk of complications and significantly shortens recovery time. Most patients return to daily activities within a few days of the procedure.
Southwest Gastroenterology offers ESG to patients who are looking for an effective, less invasive alternative to traditional bariatric surgery. ESG is ideal for those with a BMI of 30–40 and is part of a medically supervised weight loss program.
Our team provides extensive pre- and post-procedure support, including dietary counseling and lifestyle coaching, to help ensure the best long-term results. ESG has been shown to result in significant weight loss and improvements in obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
We invite you to schedule a consultation to explore if ESG is the right step in your weight loss journey.
