Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that reshapes the stomach from the inside using an endoscope — a flexible tube passed through the mouth — without any cuts on the abdomen. A series of full-thickness sutures are placed to fold and narrow the stomach into a sleeve shape, reducing its volume by roughly two-thirds. ESG is typically recommended for adults with a BMI between 30 and 40 who have not achieved adequate weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication, and who prefer a less invasive alternative to bariatric surgery. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 60 to 90 minutes; most patients go home the same day or after one night of observation. Published studies show average total body weight loss of 13 to 20 percent over the first 12 to 18 months, with meaningful improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, and other obesity-related conditions in many patients.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
