Gastric Sleeve Surgery


Weight loss isn’t always simple, but it’s easier when you have a great program and caring people supporting you.

 

We offer vertical sleeve gastrectomy weight loss surgery. This procedure involves removing roughly 75% of the stomach to reduce the amount of food a person can eat. Generally the post surgical patient can return to work after two weeks.

Is bariatric surgery permanent?

Meta title :
It is important to note that the gastric sleeve procedure is not reversible. The procedure is done to create a stomach pouch that is smaller than in that seen in other types of weight loss surgery. The surgeon will remove up to 60-80% of the stomach, leaving just a slender tube, or “sleeve” for the new stomach pouch. As a result of this procedure, hunger can be controlled due to the smaller sized stomach. Also, the part of the stomach that is cut out is completely removed from the body, unlike in other procedures that leave it in place.
