What is the Endoscopic Sleeve Procedure?
The Endoscopic Sleeve Procedure, also known as Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), is a minimally invasive, non-surgical weight loss procedure performed using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera).
Unlike traditional bariatric surgery, this procedure does not involve any cuts or external incisions. Instead, the size of the stomach is reduced from the inside, helping patients feel full earlier and eat less.
