What Is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty?
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) reduces the size of your stomach using sutures that are placed from the inside without any incisions. Dr. Batash performs this procedure with precision using a thin, flexible camera and advanced endoscopic techniques. With less space in your stomach, you feel full sooner and naturally eat less, which can help you lose weight and improve your health.
What it is
A non-surgical procedure that reduces the size of your stomach using well-placed sutures so you feel full faster and eat less.
Procedure

Performed by
Dr. Batash, a board-certified gastroenterologist with 30 years of experience.
How it works
The walls of your stomach are sutured together to reduce its available capacity. You can only eat small amounts and you stay full longer.
Duration

- General anesthesia is administered followed by the careful insertion of the endoscope to access the stomach.
- Special tools are lowered down the endoscope and used to reshape and resize the stomach, placing stitches to hold the changes in place.
- The endoscope is removed.
- After a few hours of observation you are discharged to go home.
