Features
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a minimally invasive weight-loss procedure. It reduces the risk of operative complications and allowing quick back to the normal daily activities. Under general anesthesia, the operator will insert an endoscopy with suturing device into your throat and down to your stomach then suturing your stomach to make it smaller. It could be a choice to decrease body weight for a person who had a body mass index of 30 or more. This procedure leads to significant weight loss about 15~20% of total body weight. It helps you to decrease your feeding amount. And of course, regular exercise and healthy diet still need to do to ensure long-term body weight control.
