Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty in Delray Beach by Dr. Ariel Rodriguez
Are you carrying 30 or 40 pounds you cannot shift, but the thought of an operating table stops you cold? Dr. Rodriguez has spent over 15 years and thousands of procedures learning where surgery helps and where it is simply not needed. He built his endoscopic program for exactly the patients who fall in that gap.
Everything happens through the mouth with a flexible scope. Nothing is cut, nothing is removed, and nothing about your anatomy is permanently altered. As a result, endoscopic sleeve surgery in Delray Beach offers a minimally invasive option for patients seeking meaningful weight loss without traditional incisions. Because Dr. Rodriguez is a fully trained bariatric surgeon rather than a technician, you have the reassurance that every clinical scenario is already covered by the person holding the scope.
Traditional programs can stretch four to six months before you reach a procedure date. At South Florida Bariatrics, our workup is deliberately tight, so most patients are cleared and scheduled inside 2 to 4 weeks, without cutting a single corner on safety or screening.
Is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty in Delray Beach Right for You?
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, sometimes shortened to ESG, is a non-surgical weight loss option carried out entirely from inside the body. A slim, flexible endoscope travels down the throat and into the stomach, so no skin is ever broken.
Using endoscopic suturing, a running line of stitches gathers the stomach wall inward and folds it into a narrow tube. Capacity drops by roughly 70 to 80 percent. Food now moves through a much smaller channel and empties more slowly, so satiety arrives early and lingers between meals.
Nothing is excised, and nothing is stapled shut, which means the sutures can be adjusted or released later if your circumstances change.
Most people are back to desk work within two or three days and back to the gym within a fortnight.
Patients seeking weight loss solutions can also access our services beyond Delray Beach, including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and surrounding areas across Florida. Along with endoscopic sleeve procedures, we provide comprehensive bariatric surgery in Delray Beach and personalized weight loss care designed around each patient’s goals and health needs. Contact us today to learn more about your options and take the next step toward a healthier future.
Your timeline, start to finish
Most patients move from consultation to operating room in 2 to 4 weeks.
Consultation
We review your weight history, your BMI, and what you have already tried. You leave knowing whether ESG suits you and exactly what it costs. Telehealth slots available for patients traveling in.
Pre-op workup
Bloodwork, a dietitian session, and a brief psychological screen. A two-week liver-shrinking diet clears the field of view and makes the stitching safer.
60 minutes, then home
You are under sedation for about an hour while the sutures are placed. A short spell in recovery, one round of observation, then you leave on your own two feet.
The first month
Nutrition steps forward in stages, from clear fluids to full fluids, soft foods, then normal textures. Protein leads at every single stage.
Follow-up
Scheduled reviews, repeat labs, and direct access to our team whenever something feels off. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty recovery is quick, but the coaching runs long.
Ready when you are.
Every month you wait is a month of the same. Book a consultation at South Florida Bariatrics and find out which route fits your body and your calendar.
Is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Right For You?
The Endoscopic Sleeve Is Often A Strong Fit If
- Your BMI sits between 28 and 36
- You have lost and regained the same weight more than once
- The idea of scars or a removed stomach is a dealbreaker
- You cannot afford more than a few days away from work
- You have never had surgery on your stomach before
- You want a route that can be adjusted later rather than a one-way door
Another Option May Suit You Better If
- Your BMI is 40 or above, where the gastric sleeve holds results more reliably
- Heartburn already wakes you at night, since the endoscopic approach does not correct reflux
- You are managing type 2 diabetes and want the strongest metabolic response, which points to bypass
- A previous bariatric operation has stopped working, and you need a revision, not a first procedure

common questions
FAQs on Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
Will I be put to sleep for the procedure?
At South Florida Bariatrics, we keep you under deep sedation for the full hour, so you feel nothing and remember nothing. There is no breathing tube and no full general anesthetic in most cases. You wake in our recovery suite and go home with us the same afternoon.
How long do the results of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty last?
Our patients typically hold 15 to 20 percent total body weight loss at the one-year mark, and published five-year data supports that the sutures stay durable. Your outcome depends on the eating pattern you build in the first six months. We stay with you through that window rather than handing you a leaflet and waving goodbye.
Do I need to travel to Delray Beach more than once?
Out-of-state patients usually complete the consultation with us by video and make a single trip for the procedure itself. We ask you to stay locally for one night afterward purely as a precaution. Follow-up carries on by telehealth from wherever you live.
Can I have ESG if I have already tried weight loss medication?
Yes, and many of the people we treat come to us exactly that way. Some patients pair the two, using medication alongside the procedure under our supervision. We will review your prescriptions at consultation and tell you honestly whether adding ESG makes sense.
Better yet, see us in person!
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
