No Incisions: Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe ESG from decision to long view. Writers explain what pushed them toward a scope rather than a scalpel — a job that could not absorb a long recovery, a horror of permanent anatomy changes, a BMI that fell between the eligibility lines, or a doctor who simply offered it — and how it was funded. There are procedure days measured in hours, the nausea and cramping of the first fortnight that nobody quite prepares you for, and the slow apprenticeship of a stomach that now holds a fraction of what it did. Writers report the numbers honestly: the strong responders, the modest ones, and the plateau at month nine. Later chapters cover ESG alongside GLP-1 medication, revisions and conversions to surgical sleeves, and the cases where the sutures loosened and the restriction quietly disappeared.

Who it's for

For anyone weighing endoscopic against surgical weight loss options, patients in the months after an ESG, and people who want the unglamorous version before they commit.
