This video features Dr. Rakesh Kalapala's talk about Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, an innovative weight loss procedure that can transform your life! Dr. Rakesh Kalapala, an expert in the field, will share how this minimally invasive, non-surgical option can help you achieve your weight loss goals.
 
During an ESG procedure, sutures are placed in the stomach using an endoscope to create a smaller, tube-like structure, limiting food intake. Although generally considered safe and effective, patients should be aware of potential complications such as bleeding, perforation, infection, suture line leak, GERD, and nutritional deficiencies. It's important to discuss these with your healthcare provider and follow postoperative instructions carefully to minimize risks.
 
ESG is less invasive than traditional bariatric surgery and has a lower risk of complications. It's also reversible, allowing patients to regain their original stomach size and digestive function if necessary. While ESG is a relatively new procedure, early results show significant weight loss and improved health conditions.
 
In summary, ESG offers an exciting alternative for patients struggling with obesity and related conditions. Dr. Rakesh Kalapala's talk on this procedure is not to be missed!
 
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that is gaining popularity as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional bariatric surgery. The procedure involves the use of an endoscope, a flexible tube equipped with a camera and other instruments, to place sutures in the stomach, creating a tube-like structure that reduces its size and limits the amount of food that can be eaten. ESG has been shown to be an effective weight loss option for patients who are struggling with obesity and related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
 
The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and under sedation or general anesthesia. During the procedure, the endoscope is inserted into the patient's mouth and passed down into the stomach. The surgeon then uses the endoscope to place sutures in the stomach, creating the tube-like structure. The sutures are placed in a pattern that mimics the effects of a surgical sleeve gastrectomy, a surgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the stomach. ESG, however, is a non-surgical procedure that does not involve any incisions or removal of tissue.
 
While ESG is generally considered a safe and effective weight loss option, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications that patients should be aware of before deciding to undergo ESG. The most common complications associated with ESG include bleeding, perforation of the stomach or intestines, infection, suture line leak, worsening of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, and nutritional deficiencies.
 
Patients should discuss these potential risks with their healthcare provider before undergoing ESG and should follow all postoperative instructions carefully to minimize their risk of complications. In general, patients who are well-informed and prepared for the procedure are more likely to have a successful outcome.
 
ESG has several advantages over traditional bariatric surgery. One of the main benefits of ESG is its minimally invasive nature, which means that patients typically experience less pain, scarring, and recovery time than those who undergo traditional surgery. ESG is also less expensive than traditional surgery and has a lower risk of complications. Another advantage of ESG is that it is reversible. Unlike traditional surgery, which permanently alters the anatomy of the digestive system, ESG can be reversed if necessary, allowing patients to regain their original stomach size and digestive function.
 
While ESG is a relatively new procedure, early results are promising, with many patients experiencing significant weight loss and improvements in related health conditions. Patients who are considering ESG should discuss the procedure with their healthcare provider to determine if it is the right option for them. With its minimally invasive nature, reversible design, and potential for significant weight loss, ESG is becoming an increasingly popular treatment option for patients who are looking for an alternative to traditional bariatric surgery.
 
Patients who undergo ESG can typically return home the same day, with most experiencing minimal discomfort and able to resume normal activities within a few days. Recovery time is generally shorter than that of traditional bariatric surgery, making ESG an attractive option for patients who cannot afford to take extended time off work or who have other commitments.
 
ESG has also been shown to be effective in helping patients achieve significant weight loss. In clinical trials, patients who underwent ESG lost an average of 18-20% of their excess body weight within six months of the procedure. This weight loss can lead to significant improvements in related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
 
Another advantage of ESG is that it is less expensive than traditional bariatric surgery. Because ESG is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require hospitalization or significant aftercare, it is typically less expensive than traditional bariatric surgery.
 
Despite its many benefits, ESG is not suitable for everyone. Patients with certain medical conditions, such as severe esophageal inflammation or narrowing, may not be good candidates for ESG. Additionally, patients who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the near future should not undergo ESG, as the effects of the procedure on fetal development are not yet fully understood.
 
In conclusion, ESG is a promising non-surgical option for patients who are struggling with obesity and related health conditions. With its minimally invasive nature, reversible design, and potential for significant weight loss, ESG is becoming an increasingly popular treatment option for patients who are looking for an alternative to traditional bariatric surgery. However, it's important for patients to discuss the potential risks and benefits of ESG with their healthcare provider before deciding whether or not to undergo the procedure.
