Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric Sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a type of bariatric surgery that helps obese people achieve significant and sustained weight loss. This surgery is achieved by removing 80% of the stomach leading to a smaller, tube-like stomach that restricts food intake and reduces hunger.
How does it work?
The Gastric Sleeve procedure involves the removal of about 75-85% of the stomach leaving a banana-shaped sleeve. This reduction in stomach size helps to restrict the amount of food that you eat. The portion of your stomach that is removed also contains a majority of the cells that produce ghrelin, a hormone that controls appetite. Your appetite will also decrease due to a decrease in the production of ghrelin.
Before and After Results
Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
Candidates for Gastric Sleeve surgery include people who:

Benefits of the Vertical Gastric Sleeve
The benefits of gastric sleeve surgery extend beyond weight loss by improving your overall health. These are some key benefits:
- Significant Weight Loss: This procedure has been proven to be an effective method of weight loss with people losing substantial excess weight within the first year. Weight-loss will lead to a reduced risk of obesity-related conditions.
- Improved Metabolic Health: This weight-loss can help improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions including type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, as well as high cholesterol. The weight-loss can also help your body better its blood sugar control and improve its lipid profile.
- Improvement of other Obesity health challenges: The weight-loss gastric sleeve surgery provides can improve or reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, joint problems, infertility and certain cancers.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Losing excess weight can improve physical mobility, increase energy levels, enhance self-esteem and body image. These factors contribute to an overall better quality of life.
What are some important concerns?
The Gastric Sleeve procedure is not a magic solution. It requires you to commit to significant lifestyle changes, including healthy eating habits and better exercise habits. These changes are important for long-term success.
As with any surgery, there are risks and drawbacks such as infection, bleeding and leaks. The procedure is also non-reversible; it changes your digestive system permanently.
These procedures require careful thought and dialogue with your health specialists. You must speak with a qualified surgeon to be thoroughly assessed and determine if Gastric Sleeve is the right choice for you. You must consider your circumstances, including health conditions and weight loss goals, and whether you are committed to making lifestyle changes to support the surgery.
