Overview
ESG is not stomach cutting. It uses endoscopic suturing from inside the stomach to reduce capacity and support portion control. Strong outcomes require follow-up for nutrition, habits, and metabolic health.
How it works
A flexible endoscope is passed through the mouth. Internal sutures narrow the stomach, helping patients feel full sooner without removing stomach tissue.
After the procedure
Diet advances step by step. Hydration, protein intake, medication review, and regular monitoring are part of the long-term plan.

FAQ
ESG Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
How is ESG different from sleeve surgery?
ESG sutures the stomach from inside without removing tissue. Sleeve gastrectomy surgically removes part of the stomach and has a different risk and benefit profile.
Can ESG work without lifestyle changes?
ESG should not be viewed as a standalone shortcut. Results depend on diet, habits, follow-up, and metabolic health.
Is hospital stay required?
This depends on the treatment plan and patient health. Preparation and aftercare are discussed before any decision.
