1 DaysEndoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that reshapes the stomach from the inside using an endoscope and sutures. It reduces stomach volume, helping patients feel full sooner and eat less, promoting weight loss without any cuts or removal of tissue.
ESG is suitable for people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30 and 40 who have not had success with traditional methods like dieting and exercise. It’s also ideal for those who want a weight loss option with faster recovery and lower risk than traditional bariatric surgery.
In this procedure, an endoscope with a suturing tool is inserted through the mouth into the stomach. Multiple sutures are placed to fold and stitch the stomach into a sleeve-like shape, reducing its capacity by nearly 70–80%. No external cuts are made, and the entire process is done internally.

Specialized endoscopic devices such as the OverStitch™ system are used to place full-thickness sutures inside the stomach. The tools allow doctors to reshape the stomach precisely, making ESG safe, effective, and reversible in some cases.
The ESG procedure typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours (60–90 minutes). Most patients are discharged the same day or after one night of observation. Recovery is fast, with many returning to normal activities in 3 to 5 days.
ESG is generally safe, but mild side effects like nausea, cramping, or acid reflux may occur for a few days. Rarely, bleeding, infection, or stomach injury can happen, but these are uncommon. The overall complication rate is lower than surgical options.
