At Slim Vegas, we aim to guide you through a journey of transformation with our Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty procedure. This cutting-edge technology allows us to reshape your stomach's size through a simple endoscopic approach, leading to reduced food intake without the permanence of traditional surgery. Embark on your path to a healthier, more vibrant you with minimal downtime and maximum support from our dedicated team.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a revolutionary, non-surgical procedure designed to reduce the stomach's capacity to hold food. It involves using an endoscope, equipped with a suturing device, to place stitches in the stomach, effectively decreasing its size and promoting faster satiety.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, utilizing a flexible tube that passes through the mouth and into the stomach. Our skilled specialists then apply sutures to alter the stomach's structure, resulting in a smaller, tube-like shape. This minimally invasive technique requires no external incisions, leading to a quicker recovery.
ESG is ideal for individuals who struggle with obesity and have found little success with conventional weight loss methods. The procedure not only aids in significant weight reduction but also in the improvement of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Patients experience a boost in self-esteem and quality of life post-procedure.
Patients can expect a marked decrease in weight post-ESG, with substantial results visible within the first year. The procedure offers a safer alternative to traditional weight loss surgeries, with reduced risk of complications and a shorter recovery period. Improved weight management and health benefits are long-lasting with proper dietary and lifestyle adherence.
The perfect candidate for ESG is an individual with a BMI of 30-40, who has attempted weight loss through diet and exercise without significant results. It is also suitable for those seeking an effective, less invasive alternative to surgical options. A consultation with our specialists at Slim Vegas will help ascertain if ESG is the right choice for you.
The Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is minimally invasive, involving no external incisions, which significantly reduces post-procedure discomfort. Patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort, but pain management strategies are employed to ensure comfort throughout the recovery period.
Recovery times can vary, but patients often return to their normal activities within a few days post-procedure. The lack of external incisions contributes to a faster recovery period compared to traditional weight loss surgeries. Our team at Slim Vegas provides comprehensive post-care instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery.
While ESG is designed to be a long-term solution for weight loss, in exceptional cases, the procedure can be reversed or modified. This flexibility allows adjustments should your future health needs change. However, the primary goal of ESG is to provide a durable solution for weight management and improving obesity-related health conditions.
