Publishing relationships

EndoscopicSleeveGuide.com is published in association with a group of educational websites that focus on bariatric, metabolic, and related weight-loss topics. Some of these websites share common ownership or editorial infrastructure. We disclose those relationships so patients can evaluate our information in context.

How related resources are selected

  • Cross-domain links are added only when another resource provides substantially deeper information about the specific topic being discussed.
  • Links are chosen manually by our editorial team, not generated automatically from keywords.
  • Every cross-domain link goes through editorial review before publication.
  • Cross-domain links are educational — they are not endorsements, referrals, or treatment recommendations.
  • Most pages contain no cross-domain links at all; when present, we typically include no more than one or two per article.

Editorial standards

Content is written for general education and does not create a physician-patient relationship. Claims are based on published, peer-reviewed literature or clearly attributed expert opinion. We avoid superlatives such as "best," "cheapest," or "guaranteed," and we do not present ESG as universally superior to other options. Individual candidacy and treatment decisions require an in-person medical evaluation.

Medical review

Clinical content is reviewed by our named medical reviewer. Review dates are shown on each article and on the site footer. See our Medical Review Policy, Editorial Policy, and Conflict of Interest disclosures for details.

Requesting corrections

If you believe any statement on this website is inaccurate, outdated, or misleading, please contact us through our contact page. We investigate every correction request and update the article — including the last-reviewed date — when a change is made.

Advertising and financial disclosures

See our Advertising Policy and Network Transparency pages for information on how the site is funded and how any commercial relationships are managed.
