5 Reasons You Should Consider ESG for Weight Loss
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a new nonsurgical bariatric procedure that requires no incisions or cutting into the stomach. During ESG the stomach is accessed utilizing a flexible endoscope, a thin tube with a little camera enabling the surgeon to see your gastrointestinal tract. The procedure is considered safe and effective in treating conditions related to obesity.
Advantages of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
- No incisions and no scarring
No outside incisions or suturing are required for this procedure. The endoscopic suturing device is used to reduce the size of the stomach. No part of the stomach is removed, it is essentially sutured to decrease the usable space in the stomach so that it has a lesser volume capacity.
- The natural digestion process is not altered
ESG restricts food intake without altering your normal digestion process. There’s no risk of having any nutrition deficiencies, because the gastrointestinal tract remain unaltered.
- Reduces hunger
ESG provides the added benefit of reducing the hunger hormone ghrelin – the hormone that restricts the amount, capacity and the rate at which you consume food. Due to a smaller stomach size, you will have a feeling of satisfaction after eating a much smaller quantity of food than usual.
- Relief from obesity-related health conditions
ESG is performed to help you lose weight and potentially lower your risk of serious weight-related health problems, including:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease
- Heart disease and stroke
- High blood pressure
- Sleep apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
- No overnight hospital stay
The procedure takes about 90 minutes to complete and you can return home the same day after the ESG procedure. You can even resume normal activities and enjoy light exercise within a day after having the procedure.
