and let’s answer all your questions.
What Is the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)?
ESG is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure performed through the mouth.
Using a flexible endoscope, I place internal sutures that reduce stomach volume to enhance early fullness and portion control—no external cuts, no visible scars, typically outpatient.

Why will I lose weight with this procedure?
Reduced gastric capacity:
Sutures decrease stomach volume, so you feel full with less food.
Earlier, longer-lasting satiety:
With less space, the “I’m full” signal arrives sooner and lasts longer.
Naturally smaller portions
You don’t rely solely on willpower; anatomy limits how much fits per meal.
Fewer hunger spikes:
Appropriate portions plus greater satiety reduce binges and between-meal grazing.
Better adherence to the nutrition plan
Feeling full makes it easier to follow the diet (textures, protein, hydration) without extreme deprivation.
Indirect metabolic impact:
Steady weight loss can improve markers like blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid profile (case-dependent with follow-up).
Who Is a Candidate?
Why will I lose weight with this procedure?
ESG is ideal for patients with overweight to moderate obesity (and some higher-BMI cases) seeking a non-surgical path—with strong commitment to nutrition, activity, and follow-up.
If you’ve been offered traditional surgery, ask for a second opinion to compare options side by side.

Who may not be a good candidate?
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty may not be recommended for every patient.
According to the FDA’s De Novo decision summary for the Apollo ESG System, the system is contraindicated in situations where endoscopic interventions are contraindicated, malignant tissue is present, large hiatal hernia, potential bleeding gastric lesions such as ulcers, erosive gastritis, varices or vascular malformations, affective disorders not under medical supervision or refractory to medical therapy, eating disorders, pregnancy, and coagulation disorders or antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy that cannot be corrected.
A medical evaluation is required to determine whether ESG, gastric balloon, bariatric surgery, medication, or another treatment option is more appropriate for each patient.
How Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty works
Remote medical evaluation
We review your medical history, BMI, previous weight loss attempts, medications and health goals.
Pre-procedure preparation
You may need lab work, medical clearance, dietary preparation and anesthesia evaluation.
ESG procedure
The procedure is performed through the mouth using a flexible endoscope. Internal sutures reduce stomach volume without removing stomach tissue.
Recovery
Most patients follow a staged diet and receive medical instructions before returning home.
Follow-up
Long-term results depend on nutrition, physical activity and scheduled follow-up.
Why choose ESG
over traditional bariatric surgery?

Outpatient/short stay

Flexible pathway
ESG or gastric balloon depending on profile; we’ll guide you to the right fit.
“Endoscopy isn’t for everyone—but when it fits, it means less downtime and a quicker return to normal life.” — Dr. Marmolejo.

Results you can expect
On average, ESG patients can lose between 15% and 30% of their body weight within the first 10 months.

Body weight reduction:
Many patients may achieve clinically meaningful weight loss after ESG, especially when the procedure is combined with a structured nutrition and lifestyle program. Individual results vary depending on BMI, adherence, follow-up and metabolic factors.
-
Improving type 2 diabetes:
Weight loss can significantly improve blood glucose levels and insulin resistance, aiding management and, in some cases, remission of type 2 diabetes.
-
Hypertension:
Weight reduction helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
-
Cholesterol control:
Losing weight helps decrease LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides, improving the lipid profile.
