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
