Is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty A Safe Weight-Loss Method?
The journey of weight loss could be quite intimidating and apprehensive. Especially when you need to choose the best weight loss treatment or procedure and also assess its degree of safety, it is a real task.
Talking about the best treatments, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty has recently garnered a lot of popularity. It is considered one of the best weight loss procedures. Why? Let’s see that ahead.
What is endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty?
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a relatively new type of minimally invasive weight-loss surgery. During this procedure, the suturing device is passed into your throat and down to your stomach. Sutures are then placed in your stomach by the endoSurgeon to make it smaller.
If diet and exercise haven’t worked for you and you’re extremely overweight with a BMI of 30 or more, this treatment may be an excellent option. Our bariatric surgery expert Dr. Girish Juneja has helped numerous patients turn their lives around with this weight loss treatment method.
How does endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty work?
It accomplishes three things to help you lose weight and conveniently control your food intake:
- Delays gastric emptying
- Promotes early satiation
- Decreases stomach capacity
Is endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty safe?
Changing diet and lifestyle completely is a challenge in itself. Instead of experiencing health benefits, people wind up acquiring even more weight or reducing too much weight in order to maintain their health.
So, what alternative options do you have if you can’t lose weight safely on your own? Explore endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) if you have been overweight or fat for a long time. This treatment is less intrusive than surgery and has the potential to result in significant long-term weight loss. You will not have to worry about a lengthy recuperation period or any potential health hazards associated with the therapy. It is a simple remedy that can alter the way you live your life.
Non-Surgical intervention procedure
You will be relaxed to know that there are no incisions, or scars because it is a minimal -invasive, and no-cutting solution. The procedure only takes approximately 40 minutes, and you can go home within a few hours. Endoscopy, suture placement, and endoscopic sleeve formation are the only steps in the procedure.
What should you expect after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty?
There have been very few reports of adverse reactions among those who have received the treatment. You could even think of these as separate incidents. You can simply treat any ensuing discomfort by using prescribed medications. You can continue your normal day-to-day activities two or three days after the therapy.
Are you concerned about the medical dangers, agony, and lengthy recovery periods? Then, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is the way to go. It has a considerably safer and shorter adjustment period. Although patients are put on an all-liquid diet for one week but this is only to facilitate faster healing. This is still better as in other gastric sleeve surgeries, patients are needed to be on a liquid diet for months!
Few reasons why you should choose ESG as weight loss treatment
- You will be ready to resume your normal daily activities within 2 weeks
- The procedure causes very little to no discomfort.
- ESG’s weight reduction potential is directly tied to how well the patient sticks to the essential lifestyle adjustments. He should be ready to continue losing weight and keeping it off.
- You can easily opt for ESG if you are not eligible for bariatric surgery.
