What is an ESG?

An ESG involves the creation of a gastric sleeve with endoscopically placed sutures in the stomach. The stomach volume is reduced by 50-70% which results in improved satiety and slower gastric emptying, thus keeping you feeling fuller for longer.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic using the Overstitch™ device which attaches to the endoscope. Changes made to the stomach are considered permanent, although there is the possibility of reversing the changes, this is very rarely undertaken.

This procedure does NOT involve the removal of any of the stomach, as occurs with surgical laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and bypass procedures. As a result, the procedure is significantly safer, with a faster recovery time.

To achieve the best results, a multi-disciplinary approach is used. The program incorporates regular clinical reviews with the Gastroenterologist, Bariatric Nursing staff, Dietitian and Psychologist, to help you achieve the best possible long-term outcome.
