Our surgical team can support you in making the best decision for your journey.
During ESG surgery, a small camera-equipped tube (endoscope) is inserted orally through the natural pathway of the throat to the esophagus and into the stomach, avoiding external incisions. ESG is less invasive than LSG, offers faster recovery times and is typically reversible. ESG reduces stomach size by approximately 70% to support weight loss by reducing food intake, reducing the amount of food needed to fill the stomach and slowing stomach emptying.
LSG permanently removes a significant portion of the stomach through small abdominal incisions. LSG removes an area of the stomach responsible for producing one of the main hunger hormones that signal to the brain. This is generally recommended for patients seeking more substantial weight loss.
