Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty in Mexico
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) at Lighter Dream in Mexico is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that reduces stomach volume by 70-80% without any incisions. Unlike traditional bariatric surgery, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty uses an endoscopic suturing device inserted through the mouth, meaning no cuts, no scars, and minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities within days while achieving meaningful, sustainable weight loss.
Take Control of Your Weight
This non-surgical procedure reduces stomach volume using an endoscopic suturing device — no cuts, no incisions, and minimal downtime. Patients often return to normal routines within days, while achieving meaningful, sustainable weight loss.
At our Tijuana bariatric center, ESG is performed under light sedation with expert care, combining convenience, safety, and results.
What Is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)?
- Shorter recovery time
- Minimal discomfort
- Lower risk of complications
- Rapid return to daily life
The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes, and most patients go home the same day.
How ESG Promotes Weight Loss
ESG works through restriction and delayed gastric emptying:
- Reduced Stomach Size: Smaller stomach limits food intake.
- Slower Digestion: Food stays longer in the stomach, prolonging fullness.
- Calorie Control: Patients naturally consume fewer calories, resulting in gradual weight loss.
