Imagine a weight loss solution that doesn’t involve major surgery, incisions, or prolonged recovery times. Dr. Shawn Stevenson, an expert in minimally invasive weight loss procedures, is now offering Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) at Dignity Health Medical Group —a new option to support your journey towards a healthier you.
“Many people feel stuck between ineffective diets and invasive surgery,” said Stevenson, “ESG offers a middle ground. It’s safe, incisionless, and supports long-term success with the right lifestyle changes.”
How does ESG work?
Using a flexible endoscope, this innovative procedure utilizing the OverStitch Endoscopic Suturing System reduces the size of your stomach by about 70–80% with internal sutures. The result? You’ll feel full sooner, eat less, and shed those extra pounds while keeping your stomach intact. Most patients are able to go home the same day and return to their normal activities within just 2-3 days.
Clinical studies reveal that ESG can help you lose 18-20% of your total body weight after 12 to 24 months. Plus, many patients see significant improvements in their diabetes, blood pressure, sleep quality, and overall confidence.
Further, for patients who’ve previously had a Lap Band and are dealing with complications or minimal weight loss, ESG may offer a solution. As a non-surgical alternative, ESG provides a minimally invasive option for revision. This is ideal for patients looking to safely restore or improve their weight loss outcomes with minimal downtime.
