What Is Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Sleeve gastrectomy or gastric sleeve surgery is a type of weight-loss surgery where the size of your stomach is reduced by removing the lateral 2/3rds of the stomach (approx. 75-85%) with a stapling device, shaping the remaining stomach into a tube or ‘sleeve’ so that you can only eat small meals.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery Advantages
A sleeve gastrectomy can help you to lose weight by restricting the amount you can eat and reducing your appetite. Like a gastric bypass or band, gastric sleeve surgery restricts the amount of food that you can eat by reducing the size of your stomach so that you feel full faster.
Risks & Complications
Gastric sleeve surgery is generally safe, but there are always risks when you are having an operation. You will need to discuss these risks with your doctor before deciding if the procedure is right for you.
Pre/Post Surgery Information
Gastric sleeve surgery requires a long term approach for successful weight loss. Your journey towards your target weight will begin before the operation, as you prepare for sleeve gastrectomy.
