How Does an Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve Work?

 An endoscopic gastric sleeve procedure, also known as an Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, reduces the size of the stomach to create a smaller, banana-shaped sleeve. This procedure limits the amount of food you can eat and helps you feel fuller - faster. This is a non-surgical procedure that is performed endoscopically. During the procedure, the doctor sutures a portion of the stomach.

 An endoscopic gastric sleeve procedure is safe when performed by our experienced doctor in an accredited facility. The procedure is minimally invasive and doesn't need incisions. The procedure carries a much lower risk than traditional surgery.
