Chances are, you’ve embarked on a rollercoaster of diets, dancing between low-carb, low-fat, and chasing those fleeting fads that vowed quick transformations.
Maybe you shed a few pounds here and there, only to see them sneak back in shortly after. We understand how discouraging that can be…
That’s why we’re here to tell you about a genuinely enduring solution that has transformed countless lives—the weight loss surgery
The Gastric Sleeve Surgery is generally considered the safest and most effective weight loss surgery with the potential to improve certain health conditions.
It is a type of bariatric procedure that reduces stomach size by removing a substantial portion. This creates a sleeve-shaped stomach, restricting the amount of food intake and aiding weight loss. This approach can also lead to improvements in obesity-associated conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. The surgery is performed laparoscopically, using surgical instruments and a camera inserted through small abdominal incisions.
Disclaimer. Weight loss patients’ testimonials and before and after pictures featured on this website should not be considered typical or identical. Each patient’s weight loss will vary depending on several factors such as age, gender, genetics, medical history, lifestyle, adherence to medical instructions, and the follow-up program instructions.

One of the most effective options for weight loss, with an average weight loss of 60-70% of excess weight in the first two years after surgery.

Can help improve a number of obesity-related health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

By reducing the size of the stomach, gastric sleeve surgery limits the amount of food a person can eat in one meal, which can help control food intake and reduce cravings.

Less invasive than other bariatric procedures, which means that recovery time is generally faster and less painful.

The Gastric sleeve surgery, or sleeve gastrectomy, involves the following steps

Based on your specific needs, the doctor and our anesthesiologist will set you up for a successful surgery.

Small incisions are made in the abdominal area to perform the surgery, making the scars barely visible and so small they fade over time.

A large portion of the stomach (70 to 80%) is removed, leaving a considerably reduced-size stomach in the shape of a sleeve.

The remaining part of the stomach will be sealed shut through tiny surgical stapling. Leak tests will be performed while and after surgery to confirm it's effectiveness.

The incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches (they will be absorbed by the body over time) and a temporary drain will be placed to prevent fluid buildup, to be removed after the second day of your stay.
The surgery usually takes between 45 minutes and an hour, and patients typically stay in the hospital for one to two days following the procedure.
**It’s important to note that the gastric sleeve surgery is a major procedure and carries potential risks such as bleeding, infection, and blood clots. Patients should discuss the benefits and risks with their doctor to determine if it’s the best option for them.
