Yes. Most patients can fly a few days after the procedure, as long as there are no complications and the doctor gives approval.
The Endoscopic Gastric Sleeve, also known as Endo Sleeve or Endomanga, is an advanced, minimally invasive weight loss procedure designed to reduce the size of the stomach without the need for traditional surgery. Unlike conventional bariatric surgery, this technique does not involve external incisions, cutting, or removal of any part of the stomach. Instead, it is performed entirely through the mouth using an endoscope—a flexible tube equipped with a camera and specialized tools.
During the procedure, internal sutures are strategically placed inside the stomach to fold and reshape it, significantly decreasing its volume. This alteration creates a smaller, tube-like stomach that promotes early satiety, meaning the patient feels full much sooner during meals and is naturally inclined to eat smaller portions. As a result, calorie intake is reduced, which supports gradual and sustained weight loss over time.
No surgery:
The procedure is performed under deep sedation in a fully equipped operating room using a specialized endoscope.
Internal sutures:
Stitches are applied to narrow the stomach, reducing its capacity by up to 70%.
Duration:
The procedure takes approximately 60 minutes and does not require prolonged hospitalization.
Quick recovery:
Most patients return to their normal activities within a few days.
• ✅ No cuts or scars
• ✅ Lower risk of complications

• ✅ Helps lose between 15% and 20% of total body weight
