Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty

The Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG or EndoSleeve) is an incisionless, minimally invasive endoscopic therapy that involves remodeling the stomach by placing full-thickness sutures.

The ORBERA intra-gastric balloon is an alternative to bariatric surgery in patients with a lower body mass index (from 30 to 40) and have not had a previous stomach surgery.

At Be Better we are pioneers in revisional endoscopic procedures for weight regain after bariatric surgery. These procedures are endoscopic, effective, fast and do not require surgery or hospitalization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you perform the bariatric procedures on children?

Unfortunately, NO. “Why?” Is usually the follow-up question that we get and the answer is… “We would love to help children with health issues, but because Dr. Bustamante is not a pediatrician, he is not licensed or has privileges to treat patients under the age of 18 years.

How do I know if I am a candidate for an endoscopic weight loss procedure

If you have a BMI of 30 or more, you are. If you have tried many diets and exercising and you feel like you have lost some weight but then regain it back once you cannot maintain this rigorous lifestyle, this is for you! If you do not want to get surgery because you think it is too much, you are afraid of it or you do not qualify for it, this is also for you!

How do I decide what therapy is best for me?

Our experts will explain all your weight loss options thoroughly, will answer your questions and after a comprehensive discussion, YOU will be able to decide what is best for you. At Be Better Bariatrics all the decisions are patient-centered.

Am I making the right decision?

The answer is simple: YES! The decision is to change your life, start a new chapter, be more healthy, and most importantly to BE BETTER.

The cost of the procedure is $10,000.

After taking my father to go see Dr. Bustamante we left happy and with a great sense of comfort. The level of professionalism, detail and interaction Dr. Bustamante has with his patients is something that is very hard to find. I would highly recommend Dr. Bustamante and his team to anyone that is searching for the same experience.

I got my ESG procedure by Dr. Bustamante back in October and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. Dr. Bustamante is very knowledgeable and his team is excellent and extremely professional. They come highly recommended.

Today marks the 2 months since my surgery. I finally decided to do the surgery because found what I wanted. I didn’t want to be cut and I wanted to do it because my diabetes was out of control. Before the surgery I was taking 70 units of insulin in the morning and 100 units at night and metformin 2000 milligrams. I was so sad that at times I felt depressed because I was not able to control it. No matter what I ate it will still be high in the mornings. At my heaviest, I was 270 pounds. One day while looking on Facebook I found out about the new procedure and I started to do a little research. So I decided that I would do this. My insurance didn’t cover it because it is a new procedure and there is not enough research done on it I was told. Once I decided to do it, I was connected to the nutritionist, Linda and she started advising me on what to do. By the time I went for the surgery I was already 254.8 pounds. Surgery was in June 11th. So since then I am no longer taking insulin and hope to soon also stop taking metformin. My labs as if 8/10/2021 are remarkable, triglycerides are 101, and it was 478 before the surgery A1c was 6.6 and it was 7.9 my blood pressure was 119/67 as yesterday. I am so overjoyed. And as of today, my weight is 220.1 pounds. So I have lost 43.7 pounds in 2 months. Thank you to Dr Bustamantes and the entire crew (and I say crew because I don’t want to miss anyone) for a great job and for changing peoples lives.
