Sleeve Gastrectomy

What is Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally invasive weight loss surgery that removes about 70-80% of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This procedure is performed through small keyhole incisions, allowing for quicker recovery and less pain.

How Does It Work?

By reducing stomach size, patients can eat smaller portions and feel full faster. The removal of part of the stomach also decreases the production of hunger hormones, leading to reduced appetite and significant weight loss.

Benefits

  • Effective Weight Loss: Patients typically lose around 70% of excess body weight.
  • Reduced Hunger: Less production of hunger hormones helps control appetite.
  • Improved Health: Many patients see improvements in conditions like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

What to Expect

  • Pre-operative Preparation

    Before surgery, you will meet with our team for evaluations and guidance on dietary changes.

  • Post-operative Care

    After surgery, you’ll stay in the hospital briefly. You will follow a liquid diet initially, progressing to soft foods and then regular foods. Light activities can resume shortly after surgery.
