Show Notes Summary

In this episode of the Bariatric Surgery Success Podcast, Dr. Susan Mitchell and dietitian Catherine Page discuss the emerging field of endoscopic bariatric procedures, including endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). They explore the differences between traditional bariatric surgery and endoscopic options, the nutritional guidelines for patients before and after procedures, and the importance of managing hunger and weight loss expectations. The conversation also covers pain management, recovery processes, and key strategies for long-term success after these procedures.
