Surgery Without the Cut. Weight Loss Without the Wait.
Discover ESG—the revolutionary non-surgical procedure that reduces your stomach size by 70% using only an endoscope. No scars. No overnight hospital stay. Back to life in 24 hours.
What is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)?
For years, patients had only two choices: Diet & Exercise (which often fail long-term) or Major Surgery (which many are afraid of).
ESG is the bridge between the two. It is a minimally invasive, non-surgical weight loss procedure. Unlike a Laparoscopic Sleeve which involves cutting and removing part of the stomach, ESG uses an advanced endoscopic suturing device to stitch the stomach from the inside.
No Cutting: Your stomach remains intact.
No Removal: No part of your organ is removed.
The “Accordion” Effect: We fold the stomach tissue like an accordion and stitch it, reducing its capacity significantly. This restricts how much you can eat, helping you feel full after just a few bites.

Why Choose Mohak Bariatrics for ESG?
Because Experience Matters. You wouldn’t trust a pilot who is flying for the first time. Why trust your body to a clinic that is just learning ESG?
At Mohak Bariatrics, you are in the hands of the Pioneer.
- First in India: Dr. Mohit Bhandari is credited with introducing Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) to India in 2017. He performed the country's first successful ESG procedures when others were still relying solely on traditional surgery.
- Highest Volume: As the Director of the center performing the highest number of bariatric procedures in the Asia-Pacific (28,000+ surgeries), Dr. Bhandari’s team has refined the ESG technique to maximize safety and weight loss outcomes.
- Training Excellence: Dr. Bhandari is an official proctor who trains other surgeons on how to perform bariatric endoscopy.
The ESG Advantage: Why Patients Love It
- 100% Scarless: Since the procedure is done through the mouth (endoscopically), there are absolutely no cuts or scars on your abdomen.
- Day-Care Procedure: Most patients are admitted in the morning and discharged the same evening or the next morning.
- Faster Recovery: Return to work/desk jobs within 2–3 days.
- Significant Weight Loss: Clinical data shows patients lose approximately 15% to 20% of their total body weight within 12–24 months.
Who is the Ideal Candidate?
ESG is specifically designed for patients who:
- Have a Lower BMI (30–35): You are overweight but may not qualify for major bariatric surgery.
- Fear Surgery: You want weight loss but are terrified of incisions or "going under the knife."
- Need a "Reset": You have tried gym and diets but can't break the plateau.
- Want Discretion: Since there are no scars, no one needs to know you had a procedure unless you tell them.
The Procedure: Step-by-Step
Anesthesia
You are placed under general anesthesia for comfort.
Access
Dr. Bhandari inserts a flexible tube (endoscope) with a suturing device down your throat.
Suturing
Approximately 12 sutures are placed in a specific pattern to reduce the stomach size and shorten its length.
Completion
The procedure takes about 60–90 minutes. You wake up in the recovery room with a smaller stomach but no external wounds.

It is intended to be permanent, but unlike surgical sleeve gastrectomy, it is potentially reversible because no stomach tissue is removed.
Some patients experience mild abdominal cramping or nausea for a day or two, which is managed with medication. Most feel normal by Day 3.
