Gastric sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy is a type of bariatric surgery intended to treat obesity by inducing weight loss. Gastric sleeve is not only able to reduce the amount of food that the stomach can hold, but it can also lower the overall body fat by modifying the signals that work between your stomach and your brain.
Gastric sleeve surgery is normally a same-day procedure, and you will be sent home when our team determines you reach the criteria for discharge.
We recommend patients take 1-3 weeks off work, depending on the job. Book your free consultation to find out more.
Following surgery, patients must follow a strict post-op diet. In time, you will transition to a regular diet although portion sizes will have changed. Learn more about the post-op diet here.
