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.
The gastric sleeve procedure takes one to two hours. The surgeon will usually be able to work laparoscopically, which means that you will only need small, keyhole incisions. You will need to have a general anaesthetic.

“Since having the operation I can now go into any shop and buy the clothes I love, rather than the clothes that just fit my size. I could never have imagined buying a size 10 before. The operation has not effected my social life in any way.”

“I was a bit scared going to see him, I’d brought my husband with me, in case I forgot what he said. Having someone beside me was very useful. He explained the procedures and types of procedure, and which one I could go for. He was very down to earth and straight forward, I found it very pleasant”

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.
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.
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.
