- Able to follow the visit schedule
- Able to provide informed consent
- If female, be either post-menopausal, surgically sterile, or agree to practice birth control during year of study and have negative serum Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) at screening/baseline

- Gastric mass
- Presence of any other medical condition which precludes safe performance of elective endoscopy such as poor general health and/or history of severe hepatic, cardiac, or pulmonary disease
- Serious or uncontrolled psychiatric illness which may compromise patient understanding of procedure or compliance with follow-up visits
- Unwilling to participate in an established diet and behavior modification program, with routine follow-up

Interventions
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), and endoscopic minimally-invasive weight loss procedure, utilizing a suturing device to reduce the stomach volume by 70-80% through the creation of sleeve. This is accomplished by a series of endoscopically placed stitches through the stomach wall.
Low-calorie healthy diet personalized by a dietician according to individual patients' needs and conducive to weight loss. Physical activity will be encourage and assessed.
