Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
Dr. Marvin specializes in ESG, a new incisionless procedure that effectively reduces the storage capacity of a patient’s stomach.* ESG is technically not a surgery, because the patient is not cut open or left with any scars. In fact, patients experience little or no pain throughout the entire process.*
Patients are still placed under general anesthesia due to the length of the procedure, but most are able to return home the same day as the procedure and go back to work within a day or two.*
