At Bariatric Guru in Los Angeles, we offer Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), a groundbreaking, minimally invasive weight loss procedure designed to help patients achieve their health goals with less downtime and fewer risks. Led by the highly skilled Dr. Sepehr Lalezari, our clinic is committed to providing advanced weight loss solutions tailored to each individual’s needs.
Understanding Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a non-surgical weight loss procedure that involves the use of an endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera and suturing device, to reduce the size of the stomach. Unlike traditional bariatric surgeries, ESG requires no external incisions, making it an attractive option for those seeking effective weight loss without the need for invasive surgery.
How ESG Works
During the ESG procedure, Dr. Lalezari uses the endoscope to access the stomach through the mouth. The stomach is then sutured in a way that reduces its volume, creating a sleeve-like shape. This smaller stomach limits the amount of food you can consume and helps you feel full faster, promoting significant weight loss.
Key Benefits of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
- Minimally Invasive
ESG is performed endoscopically, meaning no external incisions are needed. This results in less pain, reduced risk of complications, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgeries.
- Effective Weight Loss
Patients typically experience significant weight loss, with studies showing an average loss of 15-20% of total body weight within the first year.
- Lower Risk
ESG has a lower risk of complications compared to traditional bariatric surgeries, making it a safer option for many patients.
- Quick Recovery
Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, allowing for minimal disruption to daily life.

What to Expect from ESG in Los Angeles

- The ESG Procedure
ESG is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes. During the procedure, Dr. Lalezari uses the endoscope to place sutures in the stomach, reducing its size and capacity.
- Recovery and Aftercare
After ESG, patients can usually go home the same day. A specific post-procedure diet will be recommended, starting with liquids and gradually transitioning to solid foods. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure successful weight loss.
