Why Choose Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Many patients have seen an improvement in:
- Cardiovascular Disease
- High Blood Pressure
- High Cholesterol
- Infertility Due to PCOS
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Stroke Risk
Effectiveness: Gastric sleeve surgery is an effective way to achieve significant weight loss. Studies have shown that patients can lose up to 60-80% of their excess weight within the first year after surgery.1,2
Long-term weight loss: Gastric sleeve surgery is a more permanent weight loss solution than diet and exercise alone. It helps to change the patient’s eating habits and behavior, which can lead to long-term weight loss success.3
Improved health: Gastric sleeve surgery can improve or even resolve obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain.4,5
Quality of life: Gastric sleeve surgery can greatly improve a person’s overall quality of life. It can help patients feel more confident and self-assured, and enable them to participate in more physical activities and enjoy life more fully.
Minimally invasive: Gastric sleeve surgery is typically done laparoscopically, which means it’s a minimally invasive procedure with a small incision, less pain, and quicker recovery time.
How Does Gastric Sleeve Surgery Work?
Laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using small incisions and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera on the end) to remove a large portion of the stomach. The remaining stomach is shaped like a sleeve, which is where the surgery gets its name. This surgery helps people who are struggling with obesity to lose weight by reducing their appetite and limiting the amount of food they can eat.
