I would like to hear from anyone that had ESG with a BMI over 40. Has ESG been successful for you? Pros and cons? Regrets?

I have a consultation schedule with Dr. Blosser on Monday. I have done a lot of research and watched reviews on YouTube. Has anyone had this procedure done with Dr. Blosser in Reston, Virginia? Anyone that has had ESG, do you regret it? Are you happy with your current results? What questions should I ask during my consultation?

I am 10 weeks post op. Down 36 pounds and couldn't be happier. I can not compare this to VSG other than the down time is considerably shorter and there are less risk with ESG. There is an ESG facebook group that has great information and people that can give you advice (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Support Group USA). Fierce.esg.diva has a great IG and YouTube page that give you her perspective on ESG. She is almost 1 year post op. Hope this helps.

Hello!!! I did not go with Dr. Blosser. During and after my consultation I was never able to get an answer on how many ESG procedures he has done. He kept giving me a lump number that combined the balloon and ESG. I decide to have it done with Dr. McGowan at True You Weight Loss in Cary, NC. He is amazing and has done over 600 of these procedures. He is extremely responsive. I would highly recommend him and his team (Tesha is absolutely the best). My husband and I drove down the night before. Had the procedure on Thursday and drove home Friday. I hope this helps.

I just had ESG 2 weeks ago and there are no incisions. Everything was done endoscopical. Are you sure you had ESG?

What is your protein intake like? Today is my last day of full liquids and during this time I have been getting about 500-600 calories a day. 70-90 grams of protein and 64 or more in fluids.

Hello! What city are you in? I and 5 days post op. I have had a rough time as well, but doing a little better each day. Everyone is different. Don’t judge your progress based on others. There is an amazing Facebook group you should join. Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Support Group USA. They are very supportive and give great advice and information.
