ESG Procedure

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is an incision-less, endoscopic procedure that leaves no scars. The ESG procedure can help you achieve significant lasting weight loss.*

*For the Apollo ESG System you need to follow a healthy diet and exercise program to lose weight. You may not lose weight if you do not adopt healthy habits. Your doctor's clinical team, including dieticians, nutritionists and/or exercise trainers, should help you on your weight loss journey.

The Apollo ESG System is authorized by the FDA to perform the ESG procedure.

Approximately 70%-80% stomach reduction means you feel full with less food, resulting in significant weight loss.1

In a landmark study, most patients went home the same day as the procedure and can return to daily activities in 2-3 days.1

In a study, patients lose an average of 13.6% of total body weight at year one.¹

How ESG works

ESG reduces the size of your stomach without incisions or scars using the FDA authorized Apollo ESG™ System. This small suturing device attaches to a camera passed through your mouth into your stomach while you are asleep. A specially trained doctor uses the Apollo ESG™ System to sew your stomach into a smaller shape, so you eat less and feel full faster.1

Proven results with ESG

Apollo ESG™ can help patients achieve lasting results. It’s an exciting option for those who have not experienced success with diet or exercise alone and are hesitant to pursue more invasive weight loss procedures. See the study results.¹
