Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty: A Minimally Invasive Weight Loss Surgery
Losing weight for good is possible without incisions. New York Bariatric Group is offering a
minimally invasive procedure that can reduce the size of a patient’s stomach without the need of
surgery. This technique is called Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty or ESG.
Unlike traditional weight-loss surgical approaches, ESG is an endoscopic procedure that reduces stomach size without the need for external incisions. The procedure takes roughly 90 minutes and most patients can return home the same day.
ESG Eligibility
ESG is designed to help people with obesity or those who are overweight and have been unsuccessful in losing weight on their own. At NYBG, patients start with a thorough evaluation and consultation to determine their eligibility.
You may be a good candidate for ESG if:
- Your BMI is over 30
- You haven’t been successful in maintaining weight loss with lifestyle changes
- You don’t qualify for or want to pursue traditional bariatric surgery
The Procedure
NYBG’s skilled surgeons use a flexible endoscope to reduce a patient’s stomach capacity, creating a tube or sleeve-like structure. The smaller stomach helps patients lose weight by limiting the amount of food they can eat. Paired with a healthy diet and exercise, patients can see long-term weight-loss success. Researchers have found that 12 months after the procedure, patients have lost 59% of their excess weight.
ESG Advantages
ESG offers several advantages over traditional weight loss surgeries.
- Minimally invasive: ESG is performed entirely through the mouth, eliminating the need for abdominal incisions and reducing the risk of complications.
- Shorter recovery time: Compared to surgical procedures, ESG results in a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time, allowing patients to return to their daily routines sooner.
- Potential for weight loss: ESG has shown promising results in terms of weight loss, with patients experiencing significant reductions in body weight and improvements in obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
- Reversibility: Unlike surgical procedures like the gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, ESG is reversible. The sutures can be removed, allowing the stomach to return to its original size if necessary.
ESG also helps by lowering the risks of serious weight-related health problems such as:
- Heart disease and stroke
- High blood pressure
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
- Sleep Apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
- Joint pain
