Endoscopic SleevE
Gastroplasty
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is an innovative, non invasive weight loss procedure that offers an alternative to traditional surgery without requiring any external incisions. This outpatient procedure allows patients to return home the same day.
Did you know?
Dr. Siegal was the first doctor to perform the ESG procedure in the greater Fort Myers area and continues to be the highest volume ESG provider locally.
We proudly provide the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) to Southwest Florida, including Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Port Charlotte. Dr. Siegal also takes patients from all over the country, offering virtual visits to care for patients out of state and welcome anyone from anywhere.
Endoscopic Sleeve
In ESG, an endoscope with a suturing device is inserted through the mouth to reshape and reduce the stomach’s size, creating a smaller, sleeve-like stomach that limits food intake. ESG is particularly appealing for patients seeking a safe, effective weight loss solution with minimal recovery time.
Weight Loss Results
A landmark study, the MERRITT trial, was pivotal in gaining FDA clearance for ESG. This rigorous clinical trial demonstrated that ESG provides substantial, sustained weight loss and health benefits, supporting its safety and effectiveness.
Data from the MERRITT trial and additional studies have shown that patients achieve meaningful weight loss that lasts: with an average of 15-20% total body weight loss maintained over ten years. ESG also contributes to improvements in obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes and hypertension, making it a powerful option for long-term weight management.
