Compare your options

Side by side comparisons so you can see how two options actually differ. No sales framing, no outcome claims, just what each one changes and what it asks of you.

• ESG vs Laparoscopic Sleeve GastrectomyBoth reshape the stomach. One is done through a flexible scope with no incisions and no tissue removed. The other is an operation that removes a portion of the stomach. The difference is not better or worse. It is a different amount of change, a different recovery, and a different fit.
• ESG vs GLP-1 MedicationsThese are often framed as rivals. In practice they work on the same problem from different directions, and many people use both at different points. Here is what each one does, what each one asks of you, and how to think about the choice.
• What Happens After a GLP-1 PlateauProgress on a GLP-1 medication often slows and then stops. That is physiology doing what physiology does. A plateau is information, not a verdict, and there are several reasonable next steps.
• Sleeve Gastrectomy vs Gastric BypassThese are the two most established metabolic operations. They change different things. The sleeve reshapes the stomach. The bypass reroutes the path food takes. Reflux is often the deciding factor between them.
• Surgery vs Medication for Chronic RefluxAcid medication lowers how much acid your stomach makes. It does not fix a valve that is not closing. If your reflux keeps coming back the moment you stop the pill, the question is not a stronger pill. It is what testing shows.
• ESG vs Intragastric BalloonBoth are done through a scope with no incisions. A balloon occupies space temporarily and is removed on a set schedule. ESG reshapes the stomach with suture and is not on a timer.
