Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve in Nairobi – Non-Surgical Weight-Loss with Lasting Results
Lose up to 15–20% of your body weight safely within the first year through a minimally invasive, endoscopic weight-loss procedure at Rayhaan Healthcare.
What is an Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve?
The Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve—also known as Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)—is a minimally invasive weight-loss procedure that uses an endoscope with suturing tools to reduce the size and volume of your stomach by up to 70%, without any external cuts or scars.
At Rayhaan Healthcare Nairobi, this advanced non-surgical method offers a safe and effective option for patients who want to lose weight but are not candidates for traditional bariatric surgery.
Average weight loss: 15–20% of total body weight in the first year, with continued improvement thereafter.
How the Procedure Works
No Incisions or Cuts
Performed through small abdominal incisions using a laparoscope.
Reduced Stomach Volume
The stomach is folded and stitched internally, limiting food intake and promoting early fullness.
Short Procedure Time:
Usually completed within 1–2 hours under sedation.
Quick Recovery:
Most patients return home the same day
