5 Reasons You Should Consider ESG for Weight Loss

February 18, 2019

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

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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
  1. 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.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty: A Non-Surgical Weight Loss Solution

Why ESG, A Non-Surgical Weight Loss Solution Is Getting Popular?

October 28, 2018

Bariatric surgery has become increasingly popular over the last few decades as a result of the rise in obesity around the world. Surgery such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric banding are the most popular types of bariatric surgery due to the impact they have on a patient’s long-term weight loss. However, not everyone likes the idea of having surgery with incisions and for this reason, it seems that the more options must be available where people can find something that suits them.

The Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty is the non-surgical weight loss procedure that offers excellent weight loss without requiring abdominal incisions.

What is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty?

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) uses an endoscope (a tube with a camera attached which is inserted orally down a patient’s throat) as opposed to making incisions to perform the surgery. ESG works by partitioning the stomach into a slowly emptying upper part and a normally functioning lower part. This will reduce the gastric volume of the stomach by up to 50 – 60% as well as alter the way that the stomach functions. ESG avoids removal of the stomach. Often patients can leave hospital on the same day following ESG.

Does Endoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy work?

Although this is a relatively new procedure, the results so far are promising. Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty can lead to good weight loss.

A recent study of people with an average BMI of 34, found that ESG led to an average weight loss of around 18kgs 6 months post-op. At a higher BMI of around 40, ESG resulted in an average weight loss of 33kgs 6 months post-op.

ESG is a procedure to help restrict the amount of food you eat by affecting your hunger, capacity and the rate at which you consume food. Due to a smaller stomach size, patients find that after eating a much smaller quantity of food than usual, they have a feeling of satisfaction (or that they have eaten enough). Furthermore, it seems that solid food leaves the stomach more slowly which helps prolong appetite suppression between meals.

As with other forms of bariatric surgery, ESG may also improve conditions related to being overweight such as:

  • Heart disease
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Gastroesophageal reflux
