Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight loss surgery that removes a large part of the stomach. This leaves a smaller, "sleeve" shaped stomach that can't eat as much food.

Gastric sleeve surgery is an option for people who have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise, but haven't been successful. It can help people lose weight, and it can also improve or resolve conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Before having surgery to remove your stomach (gastric sleeve surgery), you should understand the risks and benefits. There are some possible risks, like bleeding, infection, and complications during surgery. However, with careful preparation and follow-up care, these risks can be minimized.

Gastric sleeve surgery can help you lose a lot of weight and improve your overall health. Many patients report feeling more energetic and confident after the surgery, and some are able to keep the weight off long-term.

If you are thinking about having gastric sleeve surgery, it's important to work with a qualified bariatric surgeon and to follow all of the pre- and post-operative instructions very carefully. With careful care and support, gastric sleeve surgery can be a safe and effective way to lose weight and improve your health.
