How does Endoscopic Sleeve
Gastroplasty work?
During the procedure, a flexible tube with a camera and suturing device is passed through the mouth and into the stomach, allowing the physician to reduce the stomach size by suturing it from the inside. This results in a sleeve-like shape, restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold.

I could not be more pleased with the outcome and the treatment I received from Dr Staffetti, Shelley and all the office staff. The personal care and attention was unexpected but truly appreciated.

Advantages Compared to Gastric Sleeve Surgery
ESG and gastric sleeve surgery both restrict the capacity of the stomach and lead to weight loss, however ESG is a nonsurgical procedure which preserves the stomach and has lower risk and recovery time. Patients with serious heart or lung problems, stroke, cirrhosis, drug or alcohol abuse, or who are on blood thinners would not be good candidates for this procedure.
