Gastric Sleeve:

A Proven Solution for Sustainable Weight Loss 

What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves removing approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving a banana-shaped “sleeve.” This reduces the stomach’s capacity, limits food intake, and helps patients feel full faster, leading to significant and sustainable weight loss. 

Why Choose Gastric Sleeve Surgery? 

• Effective Weight Loss: Patients typically lose 60-70% of their excess weight within 12-18 months. 

• Minimally Invasive: Performed laparoscopically, resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. 

• Improves Health Conditions: Helps manage or resolve obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. 

• No Foreign Objects: Unlike gastric bands, there are no devices left in the body. 

Who Can Benefit from Gastric Sleeve Surgery? 

• Individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher (or 35+ with obesity-related health conditions). 

• Those who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. 

• People looking for a long-term solution to obesity. 

The Gastric Sleeve Process 

1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, we will assess your health, discuss your weight loss goals, and determine if gastric sleeve surgery is right for you. 
2. Pre-Surgery Preparation: You may need to follow a pre-operative diet to reduce liver size and prepare for surgery. 
3. Surgery: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. 
4. Recovery: Most patients stay in the hospital for 1-2 days and can return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks. 
5. Aftercare: We will provide a customized diet plan and ongoing support to ensure long-term success.
