All You Need to Know About Gastric Sleeve Surgery

What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight loss procedure that reduces the size of the stomach. During the procedure, a portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This limits food intake and may affect hormones involved in hunger and satiety, including ghrelin.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, though open surgery may be required in certain cases based on medical necessity.

Potential Benefits and Considerations

Gastric sleeve surgery is intended to support weight loss by reducing stomach capacity. Individual outcomes vary and depend on multiple factors, including adherence to dietary guidelines and follow-up care.

Obesity is associated with conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and joint problems. Weight loss may reduce the severity of some obesity-related conditions, though results are not guaranteed.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients remain under medical supervision for several days following surgery. Recovery protocols typically include a staged dietary progression, vitamin supplementation, and activity restrictions. Following post-operative instructions is essential to reduce the risk of complications.

Who May Be a Candidate?

Candidates for gastric sleeve surgery are typically individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, or 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions. Eligibility is determined by a medical provider based on individual health history, risk factors, and readiness for lifestyle changes.

Psychological readiness and the ability to follow long-term dietary and lifestyle guidelines are important parts of the evaluation process.

Cost

The cost of gastric sleeve surgery varies based on provider, location, and length of stay. Pricing is offered as part of all-inclusive packages that are paid directly by the patient. We do not accept or process medical insurance.
