Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a newer type of weight-loss procedure. It reduces the size of your stomach using an endoscope and surgical sutures. This less invasive procedure doesn't require surgery, and it's typically done as an outpatient procedure.
Success Rate: Studies show an average of 15 to 20% total body weight loss one year after the procedure.
Recovery: Most people can return to normal activities within a week following the procedure. Full recovery, including diet transition, typically takes about 3 weeks.
