Non-Surgical, Minimally Invasive Weight-Loss with Expert Endoscopists, Advanced Technology & International Patient Care
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) at Memorial Hospital Turkey is a cutting-edge, incision-free treatment designed for patients seeking safe, effective weight loss without undergoing traditional surgery. Using advanced endoscopic suturing systems, the stomach is reshaped from the inside — creating a sleeve-like structure that helps patients feel full faster and consume less food. ESG offers a powerful middle-ground between lifestyle treatment and full bariatric procedures, with shorter recovery times, high safety, and life-changing results for international patients.
🩺 What Is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty?
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty is a modern weight-loss procedure performed entirely through the mouth using a flexible endoscope, requiring no external incisions or abdominal cuts.
The stomach is folded and sutured internally to reduce its size and capacity, promoting early fullness and long-term portion control. It ensures meaningful weight loss while preserving the natural anatomy of the digestive system. ESG has become an appealing option for patients who seek a reversible, low-risk and fast-recovery solution compared to surgical bariatric alternatives.
Supported by structured nutrition, exercise and lifestyle coaching, ESG helps patients lose a significant amount of weight — often 15–20% of total body weight in the first year. It not only transforms physical health but greatly enhances daily energy, self-confidence and overall well-being.
ESG typically reduces stomach capacity by 60–80%, supporting consistent, steady weight reduction over 6–12 months. Many patients experience improved metabolic markers, better mobility and higher energy levels soon after treatment.
🩺 Types of ESG
- Standard Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty – Endoscopic suturing inside the stomach to reduce capacity and create a sleeve-shaped structure.
- Accordion/Pattern Suturing Techniques – Various suturing patterns used to optimize stomach restriction depending on anatomy and clinical goals.
- ESG With Adjunctive Therapy – ESG combined with nutritional counselling, medication or lifestyle programs for enhanced results.
- Revisional Endoscopic Procedures – Non-surgical tightening of a previously stretched ESG sleeve or failed weight-loss procedure.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
ESG is ideal for individuals who want meaningful weight-loss without surgery, scarring or lengthy recovery. It is particularly suited for those whose BMI is not high enough for bariatric surgery or for those wishing to avoid permanent anatomical changes. Evaluating overall health, eating habits and lifestyle readiness helps ensure a successful transformation.
✔️ Adults with BMI between 27–40 seeking non-surgical weight-loss
✔️ Individuals who failed diet/exercise programs and want a long-term solution
✔️ Patients preferring an incision-free approach with minimal downtime
✔️ Those needing a safer alternative to surgical sleeve gastrectomy
✔️ Individuals with obesity-related conditions such as prediabetes or hypertension
✔️ People committed to lifestyle changes and structured follow-up
✔️ Patients without active gastric ulcers, large hernias or prior major stomach surgery
📝 Consultation & Preparation
A detailed consultation ensures each patient is properly evaluated for ESG and fully prepared for the procedure and follow-up plan. Memorial’s multidisciplinary team performs clinical assessments, endoscopic evaluations and metabolic screenings to tailor the treatment approach.
✔️ Complete medical evaluation, BMI analysis and review of comorbidities
✔️ Upper endoscopy or diagnostic imaging to confirm suitability
✔️ Nutritional counselling and pre-procedure dietary preparation
✔️ Medication review and personalized instructions before sedation
✔️ Explanation of suturing technique, expected weight-loss and follow-up plan
✔️ International patient assistance for travel, scheduling and accommodation
✔️ Clarification of 6–12 month lifestyle program to support long-term results
🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from ESG is remarkably quick due to its incision-free nature. Most patients return to normal routines within days while following a phased post-procedure diet. Memorial offers continued medical, nutritional and psychological support to help patients sustain healthy habits and maintain weight loss long-term.
✔️ Same-day discharge in most cases after a short monitoring period
✔️ Liquid diet for the first days followed by soft foods and gradual solid diet progression
✔️ Mild symptoms such as nausea or abdominal cramping may occur but resolve quickly
✔️ Regular follow-up appointments with the bariatric team
✔️ Structured nutritional, exercise and lifestyle coaching for 6–12 months
✔️ Gradual metabolic improvements including blood sugar and blood pressure
✔️ Long-term maintenance program to prevent weight regain
