Additional information
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) — sometimes called "stomach tightening" or a non-surgical gastric sleeve — is a weight-loss option for people who have tried diet programmes, exercise and medication without lasting results, and who want a meaningful medical intervention without bariatric surgery.
YOUNIFY Clinic is a physician-led Healthy Aging & Wellness Center in Bangkok specializing in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), advanced bariatric endoscopy, and personalized medical weight management.
Unlike a surgical sleeve gastrectomy, ESG is performed entirely through the mouth using an endoscope. Our medical team places sutures from inside the stomach to reduce its working volume — there is no abdominal incision, no scar, nothing is removed, and nothing is left implanted. The procedure is performed under sedation, and most patients recover quickly, with many discharged the same day.
In published clinical experience, patients generally lose in the region of 15–20% of total body weight over the first year. Individual results vary, and outcomes depend substantially on the structured nutrition and follow-up programme that runs alongside the procedure — which is why our programme is built around 12 months of follow-up rather than a stand-alone procedure.
Unlike many providers that focus only on the procedure, YOUNIFY integrates comprehensive metabolic assessment, physician-guided nutrition, and structured long-term follow-up to help patients achieve lasting improvements in weight, metabolic health, and overall quality of life.
Why patients choose ESG at YOUNIFY Clinic:
- Weight loss without surgery — endoscopic, incision-free, scar-free
- Performed by a physician-led team whose background includes postdoctoral research at Brigham and Women's Hospital / Harvard Medical School and at Mayo Clinic
- Evidence-based patient selection: we assess whether ESG, an intragastric balloon, medication-supported care or a supervised lifestyle programme is genuinely the right starting point — and we will tell you if you are not a good candidate
- Structured 12-month nutrition and follow-up pathway, continued by video consultation after you return home
- Same-day discharge for most suitable patients
- Boutique clinic in Silom, central Bangkok — five minutes' walk from BTS Sala Daeng, open daily 11:00–20:00, English-speaking staff, WhatsApp coordination before and after travel

### YOUNIFY Philosophy
**Personalized ESG for Sustainable Weight Loss**
At YOUNIFY Clinic, we believe obesity is a complex metabolic disease—not simply a matter of willpower.
Rather than offering ESG as a standalone procedure, we combine comprehensive medical assessment, physician-guided nutrition, minimally invasive treatment, and long-term follow-up to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss and lasting improvements in overall health.
International and Muslim-friendly patient support: we welcome patients from the GCC and Muslim-majority countries. Our team is attentive to privacy and modesty preferences; consultation with a female physician can be requested where available, halal dining options are widely available around our Silom location, and scheduling can accommodate prayer times and travel around Ramadan.
ESG is not appropriate for everyone. Eligibility depends on BMI, medical history, previous abdominal or bariatric procedures, and endoscopic assessment. Final suitability is confirmed after specialist consultation and pre-procedure evaluation.
Individual results may vary. Please consult a physician before undergoing any procedure.

How are we doing?
About the clinic
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) at YOUNIFY Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, is a non-surgical weight loss procedure performed by specialists trained at Harvard Medical School and Mayo Clinic. The method uses internal sutures to reduce stomach volume by about 70% without making any abdominal incisions. This approach helps patients lose around 15–20% of their total body weight within the first 12 months.
Advanced Endoscopic Stomach Tightening
ESG is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional bariatric surgery. A specialist performs the procedure through the mouth using an endoscope while the patient is under general anesthesia. The doctor places internal sutures to reshape the stomach into a narrow tube. This change helps you feel full much sooner during meals. Because the procedure involves no external cuts, patients avoid visible scars and reduce the risk of surgical complications.
Procedure and Rapid Recovery
The entire process at YOUNIFY Clinic typically takes between 60 and 120 minutes. Most patients qualify for same-day discharge, allowing them to recover in the comfort of their own space. Physical recovery is fast, with most people returning to light activities within a few days. The clinic uses equipment and devices that are US FDA approved for this specific stomach-tightening method.
Specialist Expertise in Bangkok
The medical team is led by Dr. Noppachai Siranart, who completed advanced research fellowships at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Mayo Clinic. Dr. Kittithat Tantitanawat also serves at the clinic, bringing expertise from a clinical fellowship in advanced gastrointestinal interventional endoscopy. These specialists focus on obesity and metabolic diseases to help patients who have not seen results from diet and exercise alone.
Candidate Criteria and Success
This procedure is suitable for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher. It is also an option for those with a BMI of 27 who face obesity-related health issues. To support long-term weight loss, the clinic provides a structured follow-up program. This includes nutritional guidance, hydration plans, and behavior monitoring to help you maintain your new weight. You can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about the evaluation process for ESG.
