Core Tip	Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) offers a safe and effective minimally invasive option for weight loss, achieving significant and sustained weight reduction, particularly in patients with mild to moderate obesity. With a favorable safety profile and reversibility, ESG serves as a promising alternative to traditional bariatric surgeries, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and intragastric balloon procedures.
