Gastric Sleeve Surgery:
Gastric sleeve surgery is a highly effective and popular weight loss procedure that involves reducing the size of the stomach to promote significant and sustainable weight loss. This surgery is recommended for individuals with obesity or those who have struggled to lose weight through other means.
- Consultation and Assessment:
During your initial consultation, our experienced surgeon will discuss your medical history, weight loss goals, and overall health to determine if gastric sleeve surgery is the right option for you. We will carefully assess your body mass index (BMI) and other relevant factors to create a personalized treatment plan that best suits your needs. - Preparation for Surgery:
Before the surgery, our team will guide you through a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including blood tests, imaging studies, and nutritional counseling. We will also provide you with detailed instructions to prepare for the surgery and explain what you can expect during the recovery period. - Gastric Sleeve Procedure:
Gastric sleeve surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, which is a minimally invasive technique. Under general anesthesia, our skilled surgeon will make a few small incisions in the abdomen and insert a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to guide the procedure.
During the surgery, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, banana-shaped “sleeve” or tube-like structure. The reduced stomach size limits the amount of food it can hold, leading to earlier feelings of fullness and reduced food intake. - Hospital Stay and Recovery:
After the surgery, you will spend some time in our post-operative recovery area under observation. Once you are fully awake and stable, you will be moved to your hospital room. The hospital stay for gastric sleeve surgery is typically one to two days. Our team will provide you with comprehensive post-operative instructions, including dietary guidelines, pain management, and when you can resume normal activities. - Weight Loss and Lifestyle Changes:
Following gastric sleeve surgery, you will experience steady and significant weight loss over the months that follow. However, it’s essential to adopt a healthy lifestyle and dietary habits to achieve the best long-term results.
