Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (also known as ESG) is an innovative, non-surgical weight loss procedure that can help you lose up to 20% of your body weight. It’s a safe and highly-effective option that rivals traditional bariatric surgery – offering comparable weight loss results without surgery. The endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty procedure reduces the size of your stomach by 70% to 80%, which limits how much you can eat, restricts your calorie intake, and helps you feel full for longer – all resulting in rapid, sustainable weight loss

Bariatric revisions

Sleeve Revisions
Sleeve gastrectomy is the most common bariatric surgery, where a surgeon staples the stomach to create a narrow, tube-like shape. Unfortunately, after several years patients may find they can eat larger portions, leading to weight gain.

Gastric Bypass Revisions
With an endoscopic gastric bypass revision we are able to restore the outlet and pouch to their original size, or even smaller, resulting in long-term weight loss. This safe, same-day, incisionless procedure provides a new opportunity to lose weight and to get back on track.

Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve Revision

Gastric sleeve revision, also known as endoscopic sleeve revision, is a non-surgical procedure that tightens a sleeve gastrectomy. It is a 30-45-minute outpatient procedure that carries an extremely low risk of complications and a very high success rate. Following an endoscopic gastric sleeve revision, our patients generally start feeling full with smaller portions of food again and begin to shed excess weight almost immediately after the procedure.

Spatz3 is the only adjustable gastric balloon on the market. Balloon placement is a non-surgical procedure that helps patients jump-start weight loss and keep it off. After placing a small silicone balloon into the stomach, patients feel full more quickly and consume smaller portions. In the early stages, the adjustable design can help patients who experience discomfort or balloon intolerance by allowing your provider to remove saline volume. When or if weight loss stalls throughout the balloon placement, the device can be adjusted again with more saline to provide greater fullness and better overall weight loss.
