Procedures

Endoscopic Sleeve

Preparation: Patients are typically given anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Endoscopic Access: A flexible endoscope (a slender tube equipped with a camera) is inserted through the mouth into the stomach.
Suturing: Using specialized tools and sutures, the stomach is folded and stitched into a smaller pouch or sleeve shape, significantly reducing its capacity.
Completion: The procedure generally lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. After a brief monitoring period, patients can often return home the same day.

Minimally Invasive: The endoscopic sleeve is less invasive than traditional bariatric surgeries, which translates to fewer risks and complications.
Short Recovery Time: Most patients recover quickly and can return to normal activities within a few days.
Effective Weight Loss: Patients can expect to lose a significant amount of weight—typically between 15-25% of their total body weight—within the first year.
No Permanent Alteration: Unlike traditional surgical options, the endoscopic sleeve does not permanently alter the stomach’s structure and can be reversed if necessary.
Improved Health Outcomes: Many patients experience improvements in obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Nausea and Vomiting: Some patients may experience discomfort, including nausea and vomiting, following the procedure.
Abdominal Pain: Temporary pain or discomfort in the abdomen is common.
