Gastric sleeve surgery is a highly effective procedure for sustained weight loss. It is performed laparoscopically in approximately 60 to 90 minutes, which ensures a quicker recovery process and minimal scarring. During surgery, a portion of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a small sleeve about the size and shape of a banana.
Reducing the size of the stomach through the gastric sleeve procedure:
Reduces Food Intake:
The smaller stomach pouch reduces the amount of food you can comfortably consume, leading to earlier feelings of fullness.
Lowers Hunger Hormone Levels:
Removing a portion of the stomach also reduces the amount of hunger hormone, called ghrelin, your body produces. This reduction helps regulate appetite and decrease cravings.
Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and special tools, leading to faster recovery times and less discomfort compared to traditional open surgery. The remaining stomach portion continues to function normally but with a reduced capacity, allowing food to pass through the digestive system as usual.
Following surgery, you will gradually progress to a healthy diet plan that promotes weight loss and proper nutrient absorption.
Studies show gastric sleeve surgery patients can achieve significant weight loss, with an average of 70% of their excess weight lost within the first one to two years, depending on the amount of weight loss required.
Beyond weight loss, you may experience improvements in:
Overall Health:
Reduced risk of obesity-related conditions, such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.
Mobility:
Increased physical capacity and improved ability to participate in daily activities.
Confidence:
Enhanced self-esteem and a positive body image.
Quality of Life:
Greater energy levels and a renewed sense of well-being.
Sleep Patterns:
Improved sleep quality and reduced nighttime breathing problems.
Appearance:
Noticeable body transformation and a slimmer physique.

Elevate Your ShapeGastric sleeve surgery may be a suitable option for you if:
During your consultation with your bariatric surgeon, we will assess your health, weight loss goals, and medical history to determine if the gastric sleeve surgery is right for you.
While your recovery process may be impacted by factors unique to your health and lifestyle, recovery after surgery generally follows the timeline below:
Overnight Stay:
You’ll typically spend one night in our comfortable facility following surgery and be discharged the next day.
Returning to Work:
If your job is not physically strenuous, you may be able to return to work within 7 to 10 days. For physically demanding jobs, it may take closer to 3 to 4 weeks.
Resuming Activities:
Strenuous activity should be avoided for the first 3 to 4 weeks post-surgery. Light walking is encouraged to promote healing and circulation.
Dietary Progression:
Following a clear liquid diet for the first few days, you’ll gradually progress to a full liquid diet and then soft foods. It typically takes 3 to 4 weeks to comfortably return to a regular diet.
