At Texas Laparoscopic Consultants, we provide weight loss solutions tailored to the needs and goals of our patients, and we always strive to perform the most minimally invasive procedures possible while delivering safe and effective results. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce that Dr. Yu has performed our first Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve procedure at TLC.

What is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)?
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, also known as Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve, is an innovative way to reduce the stomach size without any incisions. During the procedure, Dr. Yu inserted an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a camera attached, into the mouth of the patient to access the stomach. He then used an endoscopic suturing device to stitch the stomach into a smaller shape. As with a traditional Gastric Sleeve procedure, the new, smaller stomach shape will restrict the amount of food a patient can eat.
