Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
Reviews

Dr. Laster-Butler and her team at Gut Theory are simply incredible. I contacted her during COVID and was able to get a consultation scheduled within the same week. I elected to have the ESG procedure. It was scheduled before the end of the same month. With the education and coaching of Dr. Laster-Butler and Lucretia, 2 years post ESG, I have been able to maintain my 30 pound weight loss. I have reversed diabetes and have a significant reduction in my cholesterol levels and visceral fat. In addition to her incredible medical expertise, Dr. Laster-Butler is incredibly personable and friendly. She will hold you accountable to the goals you set for yourself. I have referred friends, relatives, and clients to her because I trust her and I know she is passionate about her work. I cannot say enough about my experience with her. Pay her her worth. I can attest to the absolute fact that she is worth EVERY penny

I had the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty done by Dr. Laster-Butler at the Gut Theory DC. Im so happy with my results! This procedure is not the traditional gastric sleeve as it is not a surgery. My stomach was not cut and it did not change my physical anatomy. 🤩

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is one of the safest and most advanced weight loss procedures that has been used by people across the world for more than a decade now. The procedure does not involve any incisions or cuts through the skin because it is done with the help of an endoscope and a special suturing device that is inserted into the stomach through the mouth. The ESG procedure is performed with the Apollo ESG Overstitch™ because it is the only device approved by the FDA for this purpose.

Dr. Laster-Butler is awesome. She is an expert in her field. I researched several doctors before I made my decision to go with Gut Theory Total Digestive Care.
Dr. Laster-Butler explained the ESG procedure in great detail. I was immediately put at ease. My after care was top notch, the IV the next day was a godsend. Dr. Laster-Butler called everyday for a week to make sure everything was going according to plan. I can’t say enough about the nutrition plan she provides and the aftercare. Dr. Laster-Butler is dedicated to providing patients with all of the tools for the weight loss. I am so thankful to have found Gut Theory.

Dr. Laster-Butler has an excellent bedside manner. She is thorough and does not rush appointments. She has a comprehensive knowledge of gastroenterology, weight loss, and bariatrics and works with you to find the best solutions to your health issues.
