Hi did you have this surgery? Curious of feedback from those who did it.

During the healing process, does stomach acid collect in the crevices behind the sutures? How are the sutures strong enough to prevent leaks and buildups in the folds?

@@AustinChiangMD Does the stomach still produce gremlin after ESG?

I had the gastric bypass in ‘08 and since have gained significant weight back but I also was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune issues. I want to try a revision surgery but I’m not sure if it would be worth it with my current medical situation?

My question is "Will you still be able to eat in a nirmal way (just smaller portions) and still enjoy food or will you become like people who have had gastric surgeries and can't really eat even normal small portions of food without getting sick and have weird relationships with there little tiny one bites if food?

Your thoughts about ESG as a revision to a VSG performed more then 10 years ago where the patient has regained most of there weight ( BMI 40). Any particular challenges or issues? Is this rare ?

I wanted to ask some questions: After surgery does the patient have refulx problems ..is it permanent? After surgery does the patient have to take vitamin tablets everyday for the rest of their life? Do you get dehydrated faster as the stomach is much smaller?...because the patient can't drink water at the same level prior to surgery. With the weightloss does the patient loose alot of hair? Thankyou

For this procedure would I have to quit smoking? I've tried everything from Chantix to cold turkey, acupuncture to Nicolette. I apparently have the willpower of a gnat when it comes to quitting smoking.

What are the stitches made of? Has this procedure proven to be successful for the long run or is it temporary???

What happens to the part of the stomach that is sutured off? Does it fuse together? Can food get stuck down the part that has been closed off?

This was exactly my question, are there pockets where food or fluid can get stuck and what happens then 🤷‍♀️

Are there still side effects like dumping syndrome?

I weigh 145 kg how much weightloss can I expect after this esg.also also I don't have cholesterol diabetes hyper tension etc

Thank you so much!!!! What happens to the sutures after years? Do they get absorbed?

HI.. Great video. Do you have colleagues in Canada who offer this procedure?

Which one gives the most weight loss?

How effective is it for weight loss what if the stitches break?

What weight loss medications are available that don’t cause false energy feeling or racing heart? Love your videos! Either informative or light-hearted, I look forward to yours popping up in my TikTok feed.

What is the CPT code? I am trying to find out if it is covered under Tricare/military dependent insurance. Post hysterectomy weight gain has been a bitch and nothing has helped long term.

Unfortunately there's no CPT code for this :(

Hey Doc.. is this procedure reversible?

What would make insurance cover this procedure?

Can this be done if you had gastric sleeve done in 2016 and gained all my weight back plus 5

Hi sir I'm gastroenterology resident In India. I'm interested in advanced endoscopy bariatric procedures. Can you pls make.a video on. How can Indian Gastro residents can apply for a certificate course or fellowship in bariatric endoscopy in your institute or US? Thanks in advance

Can you do this procedure if you’ve already had RnY bypass 15 years ago? I’ve gained about 15 pounds back and am really getting worried.

Jen Werner great question - not for weight loss purposes but if necessary for a stomach outlet blockage from cancer, for instance, we are able to “bypass” that but placing a stent directly from the stomach to another loop of intestine.
