Weight in Obese Individuals
Background & Aims
Although bariatric surgery is the most effective therapy for obesity, only a small proportion of candidates undergo this surgery.
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the size of the gastric reservoir. We
investigated its durability and effects on body weight and gastrointestinal function in a prospective study of obese individuals.
