Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a non-surgical weight loss procedure available at VM Medical Park Florya Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The procedure may cost around $11,500 and is performed by Prof. Dr. Halil Alis, an experienced bariatric surgeon with 33 years of practice. The main advantage is the endoscopic approach which avoids surgical scars while achieving significant weight loss.
ESG reduces stomach size using an endoscopic device inserted through the mouth. This creates a sleeve shape to limit food intake without external incisions. Patients typically stay 3 days in hospital with full medical supervision.
Prof. Dr. Halil Alis leads the bariatric surgery team with 900+ procedures performed. He is Medical Director at VM Medical Park and holds international memberships in SAGES and IFSO. His 74 published research papers demonstrate academic expertise in metabolic surgery.
Most patients resume normal activities within days. Full dietary adaptation takes 4-6 weeks. The hospital recommends staying 10 days in Turkey for post-op checks.
The university-affiliated hospital provides access to advanced endoscopic equipment. Those considering weight loss options may request more details about this endoscopic alternative to traditional surgery.
