Discover how Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) can help you achieve your weight loss goals with no cuts, no bypass – just results.

Minimally Invasive, Big Results

Personalized Assessment Required

Safety & Complications

Our endoscopic procedure offers fewer complications than traditional laparoscopic surgeries.

Is ESG a surgery?

No, it is a medical procedure because it does not involve external incisions as it is performed via the mouth. Sutures are used to reduce the size of stomach instead of using a cutting instrument to physically remove part of the stomach.

History of the Procedure

  • Performed since 2012.
  • Endoscopic suturing has been used since 2010.
