The Minimally-Invasive Bariatric Surgery for Obesity
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is an effective, non-surgical weight loss procedure.
Stomach Reduced By 70%: Patients Eat Lesser, Resulting In Weight Loss
Minimally Invasive: Performed using an endoscope, meaning no incisions are required
Day Surgery: Done as a day surgery, allowing patients to return home on the same day
Quick Recovery: Patients can expect to fully recover within 1 to 3 days
Affordable Pricing: Due to the reduced complexity of the procedure, the cost is significantly lower
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) uses an endoscope, a flexible tube inserted through the mouth, to reduce the stomach size without making any external incisions, aiding in long-term weight management.
Insurance Panels
We are a trusted partner with most of the insurance panels and integrated shield plans. We ensure insurance pre-approvals are obtained prior to treatment and offer guidance throughout the claims process.
