Bariatric Endoscopy Classically Restrictive Endoscopic sleeve Gastroplasty
Bariatric Endoscopy Classically Restrictive Endoscopic sleeve Gastroplasty 248 consecutive patients across 3 centres. 62% of patients were followed up to completion of the trial per protocol. At 6 months 15.2%TBWL At 12 months -18.6% TBWL 24 months after ESG, 84% of reviewed patients achieved >10% sustained TBWL 56% achieved >15% sustained TBWL.
Bariatric Endoscopy Classically Restrictive Endoscopic sleeve Gastroplasty 248 consecutive patients across 3 centres. 62% of patients were followed up to completion of the trial per protocol. 38% were lost to follow up by 2 years post-procedure and were considered failures in the Intention-to-treat analysis. Allowing for this, 53% and 35% achieved sustained weight loss of >10% and >15%TBWL. Lopez-Nava G. Obesity Surgery. 2017

Classically Malabsorptive Bariatric Endoscopy
Hindgut hypothesis Increased delivery of nutrient to the distal gut leads to increased secretions of enteroendocrine hormones such as the incretins. Decreases appetite and improves glycaemic control.
Mechanism GLP-1 increased GLP-1 antagonist removed this effect
