Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty Melbourne
Advanced endoscopic sleeve procedures
Looking for a non-surgical way to lose weight? Unlike traditional surgery, an endoscopic sleeve is a minimally invasive procedure. By reshaping the stomach, it limits food intake. This may encourage better portion control and more sustainable weight loss.
At Heidelberg Weight Loss Surgery, our experienced team offers endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty with care. We are here to help you move forward with the most appropriate option for you.

The ESG weight loss procedure
1. Comfort comes first

This minimally invasive procedure utilises an endoscope. This is a flexible tube equipped with a camera and suturing tools. Your surgeon will then gently guide it down your throat.
3. Stomach reduction
4. Completion and recovery
