Endoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (ESG) in India

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical weight-loss procedure that reduces the size of the stomach using endoscopic sutures. A flexible tube with a camera is passed through the mouth, allowing the specialist to reshape the stomach without external incisions. This helps patients feel full sooner and consume smaller portions. <Cite refs={["turn599169search1","turn599169search3"]}/>

Key Benefits of ESG

• No external surgical incisions.
• Helps control portion sizes and food intake.
• Supports weight loss and obesity management.
• Generally offers a shorter recovery than traditional bariatric surgery.
• May improve certain obesity-related health conditions.

Who Can Get ESG Treatment?

ESG may be suitable for adults with obesity, often with a BMI of 30 or above, who have not achieved lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone. It may also be considered by patients seeking an alternative to conventional bariatric surgery. Eligibility depends on medical history, existing health conditions, and specialist assessment. <Cite refs={["turn599169search0","turn599169search1"]}/>

Procedure and Recovery

The procedure is performed under anaesthesia using an endoscope and specialised suturing equipment to reduce the stomach's internal capacity. Patients usually begin with a liquid diet before gradually progressing to soft and solid foods under medical guidance. Temporary nausea, abdominal discomfort, and vomiting may occur. Regular follow-up, healthy eating, and physical activity are essential for long-term results. <Cite refs={["turn599169search3","turn599169search6"]}/>
